A story on the theme of Psalm 103

Theme: "As we identify the characteristics of God, we appreciate and savor the true gift God's salvation is to us."

Jorge liked the songs he learned in Sunday School that were about God and all that God wants to do for us. He forgives our sins when were sorry. He heals us when were sick. He gives us food when we’re hungry. God loves us. God doesn’t want to get angry at us. God knows that we make mistakes, but that doesn’t discourage him because he wants to help us correct them. 

Jorge decided that he wasn’t sure how to write a song about God, but he was pretty sure he could write a poem about God. How would he start? He thought and thought and thought. Well, "A" was the best place to start in the alphabet, so maybe he should just start there. Could he think of something wonderful that was or did for every letter of the alphabet?  He wasn’t sure about X or Z, but he didn’t have to worry about them right away because he was starting with A.

A - God is Awesome

B - God is not a Bully

C - God is Kind -- oh no, kind started with a K. He’d have to save that one. C? C?

God likes to Comfort us when we’re sad. Comfort has a K sound, but it really starts with a C.

D - God is Determined to love us, in spite of how we sometimes act

E - God is everywhere. I don’t have to worry that he’ll ever lose track of me.

F - God is Faster than anything else at finding us

G - God is Good, all the time. All the time, God is Good.

Well, Jorge realize he wasn’t actually writing a poem or a song, but he was having fun so he kept on going.

H - God sent Jesus to Help us know him better

I - God is very Intelligent. More smarter than anyone else in the world

J - God loves Justice - that is he wants everyone to be treated fairly

K - Now he could use: God is Kind

L - God is Love. He knew that wasn’t original. He had memorized a verse from the Bible that said, “God is Love.”

M - God is ....hmmmm. Oh, I know he thought, God is the Maker of everything including me.

N - God is Nice. That was sort of like loving, but not quite and God really is Nice.

O - God is Omnipotent. He heard his older brother say that he learned that about God in his Sunday School class, so it must be true, even though he didn’t really know what it meant.

P - God is Powerful. Oh, yes, that what omnipotent meant that God is more powerful than anything else. If he used Powerful for P did that mean

he needed to go back and think of something else for O.

Q - God is very Quick. He made the whole world in a very short time.

R - God is Reliable -- you can really count on him

S - God saves us through Jesus and gives us eternal life. That might be the most important idea he had had about God.

Right then his mom called him for lunch. He’d have to finish the alphabet later.

I wonder what Jorge thought of for the rest of the letters, especially X and Y and Z and what about O? What would you think of?
