It must be twenty-five years ago, I had a person tell me that the character of my relationships with others reflected the character of my relationship with God, and probably defined His nature for me as well. This was not something I wanted to hear. Up until that point, it had been me and God against the world: we weren't winning, we weren't happy, but we had each other. LOL.
If my faith in God does not include love in all my affairs, then my God is neither omnipresent nor consistent (or I am having too many affairs). Until my God "matures" in my "becoming," I need to refrain from idle boasts about Him. Better that I show my God, at my present level, than brag.  The humanity of Jesus seems the hardest for Christians to grasp (and he DID have a penis).
For me, the entire Gospel is summed up in these words: Turn, and BECOME as a little child, a perpetual beginner and open vessel.
