Who is true?

 “We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true — even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.” – 1 John 5:20

Jesus came to reveal God to us. He has given us the clearest picture yet of what God is really like. Because of Jesus, we can know God, the only one who is truly genuine. Because we are in Christ, we share that special bond with the Father and find in him a whole new quality of life. This life won't end when our bodies die, and eternal life begins now, as we walk with him each day and extends unto forever. For the eternal and transcendent God to make himself known to us is grace. For him to do it in Jesus is salvation!

Questions in Genesis

27:18
So he went to his father and said, “My father.”
  And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”

27:20
But Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?”
  And he said, “Because the Lord your God brought it to me.”

Thought

. Doesn’t God’s Word come to us like a soft rain shower, dispelling the fury of the flames?  Isn’t it like fireproof armour, against which heat is powerless?  Then let afflictions come, for God has chosen me.  Poverty, you may walk through my door, but God is already in my house, and He has chosen me.  Sickness, you my intrude into my life, but I have a ready cure—God has chosen me. 
Dear Christian, don’t be afraid, for Jesus is with you.  Through all your fiery trials, His presence is both your comfort and safety.  He’ll never forsake those He has chosen for His own. - Charles H. Spurgeon

Mystery over the believer 

John 13:13
You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
Dependent on God’s presence

Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the Lord
 Shall renew their strength;
 They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
 They shall run and not be weary,
 They shall walk and not faint.
