—Isaiah 41:8-13
by: Victoria Shephard.
In my “pre-Christian” days I had a very skewed and twisted image of God. I had never read the Bible, yet I was very opinionated about what it contained. The God I saw in the Old Testament was cruel. I felt he was an ogre. It was only after I became a Christian and sat down and read the Bible that this image was corrected. Passages such as this helped change my view. I came to see that God is love and is faithful to his promises. I will never again be able to believe that God is not love.
