God's Personality

We're supposed to have a relationship with God, so he must have a personality, right? You can't be friends with a force ...

So what is he like?

I've been thinking about this. I know that for most of my life I don't really operate as if God is a person, but he is, isn't he?

I'm hoping others will come in with some ideas about what he's like, and I'm going to set the ball rolling with something myself. Maybe:

God is Subtle

He doesn't seem to like big miracles. Some examples are Jesus' miracles, the manna in the desert, and in fact the resurrection. The moment of Jesus' resurrection was not witnessed by anyone. They had to work it out from some fairly subtle signs left for them.

It just strikes me that God didn't have to do it like this. Why did he?

There are a few examples of big, unsubtle miracles, especially the Red Sea. Why doesn't God work like this all the time?

One slight answer might possibly be that God likes the way he's made the world, and doesn't like breaking the rules all the time.

What do you think?
