What is one of your favorite attributes of God, and why?
As individuals we all have unique qualities. It would make sense then that for each of us our FAVORITE attribute of God would be different. Some attributes to ponder would include:
SOVEREIGNTY
HOLINESS
FAITHFULNESS

I’m late, I’m late, ack ack! LOL…I have to say that with this in reflection of my favorite attributes about our Heavenly Father, it’s the fact that unlike the white rabbit who seems to always be running around yelling, “I’m late, I’m late”, we have a wonderful Heavenly Father who is ALWAYS faithful and always there on time.
I know this play such a huge part in the softening of a stubborn and rebellious heart and I think of all that time, that our Heavenly Father patiently waited for me while I didn’t wait to hear or listen to Him. I chuckle with a sorrowful heart that unlike many who grew up knowing the Lord, I didn’t and I praise Him though too that despite all that, His plans for us are perfect and it’s not how we set it out to be, but how, in His divine wisdom, laid our life out in a way that we will serve as testimonies to His Love, Grace and Mercy.
(Jeremiah 29:11-13 NKJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. {12} Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. {13} And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
I just am floored sometimes when I find myself impatient and weak with hurt and wondering where is our Heavenly Father, does He not care and I fail to hear that gentle chuckle as 
He continues in His patient and endearing ways, to clear the path ahead of us, probably wishing that in the midst of our tears, we understand that He is patient where we are not and that is actually a good thing.
2 Peter 3:8-9 (New International Version)
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
If that doesn’t describe God’s best attribute, I don’t know what. I’m so grateful to our Heavenly Father that while we are so busy tapping our toes, thinking hurry up, right now right now…He goes…”Wait. I love you too much that I don’t want to risk losing you.”
That is a great attribute to have a Heavenly Father who keeps delaying and delaying and delaying turning off the porch light because He wants EVERYONE to come home safely.

I like this one! I think that this is one of the attributes that people forget about, and yet He still waits for the prodigal children!

Twinkle Mom, I really enjoyed reading your entire post, but the line that stuck out to me the most was “…laid our life out in a way that we will serve as testimonies to His Love, Grace and Mercy.” My life definitely is a living testimony of His love, grace, and mercy. He is and has been so good to this sinner saved by grace that didn’t always know Him and pursue Him with all diligence. I’m glad I stopped by your place.
