Hashem is described as our Father, King, a Judge etc.
How do you think of Hashem?
Although I know that the sefarim say that Hashem loves each one of us as a parent of an only child, I can't say that I view Hashem in this way. I would say I think of Him mostly as Judge.
and you?

A white knight on a really big horse - sounds crazy, but that's my vision of Him!

I think of Him as all-encompassing - not really one fixed image at all.
By the way, when I was really little, I used to picture Moshiach as a really big, tall man riding down the street on an upright vacuum cleaner...

I think of Him as Manager Of The World! He's sitting and listening attentively to every request, He sits up there above the clouds.....His Being takes up the whole of the shomayim and He's present all over, at home, on the street, He'a aware of all that is happening, He's orchestrating it all.
I wish I could view Him as a loving mother, tho.

Good thread
To me He is very complex. On one hand He is orchestrating the world on the other hand He does give us some free choice.
On one hand He split the sea for us into not one but twelve paths on the other hand He performs miracles now more clothed in nature.
We need open nissim so much now..... Please Hashem.

As a sort of 'spirit' like cloud that is constantly hovering over me. He is with me always because I want him to be. He is the One who truly understands me. Like a best friend, mentor...

I have to agree with all the definitions above. He is very complex for me too.

I also pretty much agree with (most of) the above, but one more addition:
There are times when I look back at a complete situation that just took place and think of how He literally played us as puppets. I picture the long strings from way up high moving our hands and feet in the way that He wants, and I think that it's pretty kewl because He knows what's best for us

Unfortunately I've seen to many non-Jewish movies that show G-d as a large man with long white beard & white robe, so for as long as I can remember, that's how I picture Hashem. Still, I think of Hasem as being all over the world & able to do anything & everything.

I cannot believe that I always tell people that we are just Hashem's puppets - and I too imagine the strings - usually people say I'm crazy so thanks for being crazy too!
