What Does God Look Like

What does God look like…

He looks like joy when there’s no reason to be joyful
He looks like peace in the midst of a storm
He looks like praise going up from wherever you are
He looks like strength in your moments of weakness
He looks like power when your strength is gone
He looks like courage when fear is overwhelming
He looks like victory in times of adversity
He looks like compassion caring for a broken heart
He looks like kindness intentional and unintentional
He looks like laughter when sadness reigns
He looks like sacrifice when you want to do your own thing
He looks like justice when you do the right thing
He looks like truth when it’s easier to tell a lie
He looks like honesty when you unveil the beauty hidden under the mask
He looks like forgiveness when you’re too hurt to forgive
He looks like the love of a mother cradling her newborn child
He looks like healing on a grief-stricken face
He looks like the smile of a homeless man when given a hand up to a better place
He looks like mercy abounding with grace
He looks like radiance shining in a believer’s face—wrapped in unconditional love
