The Opposite of my Earthly Father

I have this theory that the God that each of us believe in, the one we love and need, is not God in His entirety.  That we could never comprehend or expand our minds enough to grasp the completeness of who He is.
So the God I believe in, is the one I desperately need, the one who is gentle above all.  Not that that defines Him, just that that is who my soul needs Him to be in order that I can totally connect and surrender myself to Him.  And I think that He allows that, even leads us to that place, reveals this part of Himself to me; because He is big enough, and understanding and gracious enough to meet us at the place we need Him to be.  And isn't it ironic, that the God I need him to be, is strong in places my earthly father is weak.
Thank God, however, that He never leaves us there, with poorly understood images of Him, but that the more we strive towards and search for Him, the more of His sovereign, beautiful and perfect character He reveals.

2 Corinthians 3:18  But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the LORD, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the LORD, the Spirit. 

1 John 3:2-3 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and we have not yet been shown what we will be in the future.  But we know that when Christ comes again, we will be like him, because we will see him as he really is.  And all who have this hope in Christ keep themselves pure, just as Christ is pure.
