I didn’t know the group “50 Things” existed until I saw it on someone’s profile page. I started thinking about what 50 things I would want to write about and I immediately thought of God. Probably because He is the most important person in my life.

I went ahead and started a Word document because I thought it would take several days to compile a list of 50 things. Instead, I completed the list in less than 20 minutes.

Here is my list of the 50 Things I Love About God:

3. He gave His life for me, He laid it down, it was not taken from Him
