"God is the goodness that cannot be angry...There can be no wrath in God."
Julian of Norwich
"I swear an oath not to be angry with you or punish you."
Isaiah 54:9
Sometimes we can be afraid of God, fearful that He is angry with us or will punish us for our failures. But how beautiful to find out that God promises not to be angry with us, promises not to punish us. Jesus shows us the true face of God, and it's a gentle, kind, caring and understanding face. A face filled not with anger but with compassion for those who have lost their way. A face so warm, tender and loving that little children were easily drawn to Him without fear. He is not wrath, He is love. He is not punishment, He is salvation. Jesus shows us He is a safe God that we need never be afraid of!
A thought: He will never be angry with me!
