Talk and meditation: Relating, reflecting and representing God - Claire Lynch

What does it mean to have a relationship with God, and what should we expect from one? Claire Lynch looks at the way mistaken ideas about someone’s character can misshape our relationship with them, and how important it can be to learn what someone is really like through an authentic relationship. God made us in his image, giving us the capacity for relating to him, as well as reflecting his character and representing this in our relationships with people. What aspects of God’s character would you most like to show more in your life? The talk concludes with a reflection about this, including an illustration listing these qualities of God: loving, generous, self-giving, kind, forgiving, faithful, patient, self-controlled, good, honest, trustworthy, gracious, and compassionate.
