Glimpses of God

Like a multi-faceted gem, God has different names that are described in the Bible. Each angle giving a different perspective to His wonder, magnitude, power and love.   You can take each of these names and focus individually on what God is really like.  One name alone does not have the ability to encompass Him but all of them combined gives a greater glimpse into Who He is and what He wants to do in us.
