God is Gentle. One of the most confusing aspects of Gods perceived personality, is his Wrath. People read the bible and see all the killing God has done himself to humans, and all the killing of humans from humans that he has allowed, and they think that God is strict and firm and mean. Nothing could be further from the truth. Gods personality shouldNOT be judged by events in the bible that involved death. Because death means nothing to God, anyone God has killed or allowed to be killed, hes going to give them a better life again anyway.

Gods wrath is his " Reaction to Sin", not to the sinner. God does not like sin, but he Loves humans. When God decided to create humanity, he also created a volitle mixture of Sin, Evil and suffering and death, NONE of these things existed before humans did. So they exist " For our benefit!" I know that sounds weird, but it is nonetheless true. They are integral parts of our grooming. And God will eliminate all of those things, but NOT humanity.

Compared to eternity, our human existance is relatively short. And our creation is perhaps the most harsh thing God has ever done, when it comes to creating evil. He does not like evil, but he is obviously using it, like a master potter would use a knife. So this evil stuff in our creation is against Gods nature and personality, and he shouldnot be judged by untaught views of him. God is really gentle and passive. Sweet natured and happy in his persona. He has a whole lot of pure Joy, and is always happy.

Although God is using things that are powerful, his heart is gentle, which is a salvation garentee for weak minded humans like myself, who have surcummed to sin so much. We have a God who cares for us, no matter what.

Peace.
