I'm sorry. I have less and less patience with posts that make God into a Hallmark greeting card.

Have a good Easter.

In that case, I'd avoid the Bible, if I were you.
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.


Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.


John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
A few further questions for you ... some things for you to ponder, perhaps ...
How is it that man is made in the image of God ?

Was Jesus the incarnate image of God, ... come to reveal God to us, ... and to deliver God's truth to us ?

If so, ... what did Jesus reveal to us of God ... and what truths did He deliver to us ?
Happy Resurrection Remembrance to you, as well.

I thought you folks of the tulip faith didn't complain to the mods.

P.S. I forgot to add ... patience is a gift of the Spirit of God.

God, Himself, exercises copious amounts of it.
1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
