Many views of God exist among us today. Some see God as distant and uninvolved in our daily lives. We may think God is a harsh, inspecting taskmaster. Others feel God is disappointed in our human frailty. But the real God is intimately and compassionately involved in our lives. He notices us, goes out of his way to meet our needs and is willing to join us at our point of failure. The real God looks like Jesus Christ.
