Since the rebellion of Adam and Eve, humanity has belittled and demeaned our creator by worshiping and loving god’s who are not God at all but are figments of our evil imagination. We proclaim to be worshiping God when in reality we have fashioned gods that look allot like us. These are gods we can live with because they are under our control and power. This is why there are so many conflicting views about who God is. There are multitudes of peddlers on every street corner who will sell you the god who best conforms to your ideas of him or her. Humanity perceives God to be like a wet lump of clay that we can form and mold into whatever image suits our fancy. Of course it is obvious that if God is whatever you or I perceive him or her to be then there is no God, and he is just a figment of mans ingenuity and imagination. Many people speak of god as if he is a magic potion or panacea. We often here this said, if your idea of god makes you happy and a better person then your religion is good for you, or my view of god may differ from yours but they both lead to the same end by making us happier and better people.
If the above logic is true then God is not a person that has attributes of love, hate, likes and dislikes, he is just a collection of diverse ideas that supposedly makes people feel and act better. There is another possibility to consider though, and that is that God does truly exist (He is not just an idea) and demands to be loved and served as He truly is, and that He is angry every day to be misrepresented and slandered by the people He created and whose hearts He keeps beating.
(NLT) Romans 6:23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Yes, I believe, he is angry everyday by the misconceptions and misrepresentations of Him in the lives of humans that were made to fellowship with Him. I think the most wonderful thing about our Lord is that even under these circumstances he still loves everyone of us and will continue pursuing even those with hardest hearts letting them know, if they would only listen that they can have a life of love and eternal salvation.
If we could only grasp even a small understanding of how much his love for us is we would be astounded.
You are so right Suz God does love all peoples, "from every tongue, tribe, and nation. The Eternal Son of God loved us so much it killed Him. There is no greater proof of God's love than the cross of Jesus. When we see the eternal Son of God dieing to bring us back into a right relationship with the Father what greater proof can we demand of love. The cross is a revelation that God wants to embrace us to Himself and is longing to receive sinners with open arms.How can we ever doubt the goodness and love of God? Those who believe in Christs life,death, and resurrection are forgiven all their sin's past, present, and future, and are eternally adopted as son's and daughter's into God's family. We who believe now, or those who will believe in Jesus in the future will inherit an eternal kingdom were love reigns supreme.The depth of this love is beyond our comprehension. God is a God of great love and condescension and He is so worthy to be talked well about.
