He is the exact representation of my being.
Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God's glory
and the exact representation of his being,
sustaining all things by his powerful word. (NIV Bible)
If we want to know what God the Father is like, all we have to do is look at Jesus Christ, for He is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being. In John chapter 14 Jesus declared, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father". His only interest was to do His Father's will and to say what His Father asked Him to say.

When Jesus healed the sick, He was demonstrating His Father's desire for us to be whole. When Jesus fed the poor, it was His Father's hand of provision that reached out to the hungry. When Jesus forgave the prostitute, it was His Father's heart that was moved with compassion.

When Jesus picked up the little children in His arms to bless them, it was the love of His Father embracing these little ones. Even when Jesus washed the disciples feet, he was portraying His Father's humility in the lowliest display of servant hood.

When Jesus walked this earth, there were many people who had a distorted image of the true nature of God. It is no different today than it was two thousand years ago. Many still suffer from false beliefs about God's character. Jesus came to dispel those false beliefs and truly reveal His Father's heart.

If you really want to know what your Heavenly Father is really like, just look into the eyes of Jesus and let His love melt away all your misconceptions.

PRAYER
Father, I thank You for sending Your only son Jesus to show me what You are really like. I believe that He is the exact representation of Your being and the radiance of Your glory. Help me to see Your Father's heart in every compassionate act of love and mercy that Jesus demonstrated. In the name of Your beloved Son Jesus I pray, AMEN.
