A – The Old Testament states and reaffirms God’s nature throughout the years.  His character of patience and mercy draws us to him as we recognize our character.  The good and bad in our own lives meet his unchanging love.  We are transformed to be more like him.

R – Heavenly Father, we love you.  Help our character to align with yours.  Thank you for your grace and mercy as we grow closer to you.
