We read in many places about the power of God, and that's easy to pick up in many places in Scripture.
What's also present throughout Scripture, although sometimes you have to look a little harder, is the tenderness and love of God. We see God, like a mother, tenderly caring for God's children, comforting and surrounding us with love. Like children, we can fall into the arms of our loving parent, reminded of unconditional love, accepted with warmth and grace.
God is both power and tenderness, overwhelming love and awe-inspiring mercy. We need both -- we want both -- and fortunately, we have both in our awesome God!
