I have experienced God as...

A constant presence - comforting, "in it" with me, convicting when I rebel against him, and always loving. He is there - not in a creepy way, but like a part of me. My experience of life and the world is inevitably filtered through my relationship with God. That part requires little effort; the hard part is intentionally nurturing our relationship. I love God, but my actions and emotions are fickle.
