Your View of God as a Child

[kari21]

It causes me to smile a lot calling Him Dad when talking with Him in private.

Amen!

In Biblical Hebrew

[Guest Past Tense]

When I was young I thought of God to be some big white guy in a rob with white hair and a white beard.

Now when I think of God a lot of pictures come in my head from Nature to the Mountains to a big water fall and everything that is peaceful and just.

I'm just curious...

What was your view of God as a child? Was he most like a judge? A grandfather? A school principal? What?

Now that you're older, how do you view him? Has He become friendlier over the years? More stern? Or about the same?

That must have been a very long time ago! lolol I would be curious to know what HE was like as a "Teenager" my self! lololol Oh........you met ME as a child????lolol
