Please do not answer this question if you do not love Him! I am asking a serious question to those that do.
I am going through a time of discovery with just the characteristics of God and focusing in on Him. I am just curious what is your favorite thing/characteristic/trait? Thanks for the input and vulnerability!

For those of you that feel the need to respond and tell me there is no God (even though I asked you not to as this is not a discussion on whether there is or isnt... I know Him and He is real) just know that I used to be an atheist myself, I have made all the same arguments you make (including the bit about Christians being weak), and God HIMSELF changed my heart and my life... and He says one day EVERY KNEE WILL BOW (that means you too.) So please, I am asking this question only to those who love Him. Thanks!

I loved Him because He loved me in the 1st place,by laying his life on the cross & taking my whole life's punishments for me.
So that I can be righteous in the eye of God & receive my sonship.
So that all of God's blessing shall come unto me.
So that I can fight all of life's problems FROM victory but not fighting for victory. No other one can do that for me.
So do you think it is worthy to praise the name of Jesus?

That He might love me, His Power, that He Rules, and that He keeps stopping me from offing myself. (No matter where I go to inflict heavy blade damage on myself, there always just happens to be someone coming by with a damn cell phone and knows exactly where he is). That He sometimes notices me. That sometimes, just sometimes, He increases my understanding of things ten-fold. I must admit, even though I absolutely hate and despise myself, that He is truly the best friend and Father a man could hope for, and somehow makes each day on this miserable rock a day to be thankful for. As for you, go towards the Light.

Since the time I came to consciousness, there is an inner void inside of me. something is missing or lacking. I searched for everything this physical world has to offer to fill that void, only to find it meaningless and boring.
Then I found God, slowly and gradually, the more i submit myself to Him, the more i learn about myself and the more i become complete.
He is the missing part, the missing void, that haunts me for a very long time.
Now my life has meaning and purpose.
Knowing He will be there all the time, I had nothing to fear, and peace came upon me.

I love him because he is the exact representation of the Father!!
Heb 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

The BEST thing I love about Jesus, is His POWER, and Healing in His BLOOD!!!!
I've been struggling with alcoholism in my life for *years*! With my marriage on the rocks, I recently decided to go to Earnest Angley's Healing Service for help. (before He went on the crusade) I was *INSTANTLY* delivered from that bondage, and was high on The Holy Spirit for a week! .........(and I used to not even be able to *stand* that man!)
Now my eyes have been opened! I also though, wanted to be delivered from cigs as well, but that only lasted about six days,..............I have to keep going, and going until it's gone! Before, I couldn't *stand* going to church, *now* I can't get enough!~~~~"And God did it"
What do I love *most* about Jesus? His Blood, and His love, and His compassion, and The Holy Spirit, and His creations of beautiful people like Earnest Angely,...........and you.
I empathize with you-----
WELCOME to the flock!

My favorite thing about God is when He saved me.
I was on a Lenten mission. I decided to give up T.V. for those 40 days, go to church everyday, read my bible everyday, sing songs of woship and pray a lot.
That was when He decided to save me. He showed me beautiful visions. They were awesome!
I saw God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This was truly beyond comparison to anything. I had never seen visions in my life. I felt His touch. It felt like electrical shocks all over your body. This was something to experience for yourself.
He showed me my sins in my dreams from when I was a little girl and so many others which made me run to confession.
He showed me my soul which was black like mud and needed cleansing. He took me through the cleansing step by step. Everytime I saw the state of my soul and it was not good, I ran to confession. Holy Communion helped me a lot in the cleansing of my soul. He showed me in visions when He invited me to attend a Mass by offering me Holy Communion. A hand extended with the Holy Communion.
He saved my grandmother's soul which was not ready for eternal life in Heaven. With a lot of prayers, Holy Communion and masses offered up for my grandma before she died saved her soul from eternal damnation. He showed me by means of a vision.
I used to party a lot, drink a lot and eat a lot. He took me away from all that and changed my life.
Now all I can say is that I love Him immensly. You would never be sorry to give your life to this Savior.

His mercy and grace. His everlasting love. His patience. How he knows me so well and loves me anyway. His righteousness. I could go on and on. I like what you are doing in your question. It is a great way to enter a prayer time. Concentrating on His attributes before asking for anything in prayer.

Jesus shed His precious blood on the cross (to pay for sin).
He was buried and rose the third day.
John 3
Romans 10
Rev 18-22
Job 19
Isaiah 9
No greater love is there then to give your life for someone.
Jesus is my Savior and He gives me peace you can't find in this world.

I love God for creating my family, friends and myself. I even don't mind that God created those that I do not agree with, because they force me to hold onto what I already believe. And I love Jesus because even though we constantly sin, He still loves us and died for us. His love surpasses all hate.

I love the fact that he always has our back no matter what, and all we have to do is pray. Sometimes we lose sight of how to be a good friend, but God never does.
