God is...

This activity was suggested to me by a friend of mine, to make a table of what I believe God is and what I think he might be. The purpose is to get a better picture of how I see God.

God is...	God may be...
Love	Patient
Unfailing	Merciful
Unchanging in his character	Tolerant
Truthful
Eternal
Interested in whats best for people
Can not tolerate sin
Real

I found it interesting that the things I wasn't sure of (God may be) have more to do with my uncertainty about the word itself than about my uncertainty of God. What does it really mean to be patient? To be merciful?
