From what i've seen, God is amazing. You remember that parable Jesus spoke of, the shepherd who went to get the sheep who was lost? Well, it's that times a zillion. Basically if you consider every possible time you've ever seen or heard of someone who ever did something to save someone, then multiply that by a trillion, and you're still not quite at what God can do to save people.
For a long time i pondered why, why he would go so far out of his way to save who seems to be lost. Even though i knew he could save a lost sinner from experience, God showed me that it was to reap the biggest harvest ever, because there's only one. He has been out there for every generation since Adam and Eve, doing everything he can to make sure that the greatest harvest with the greatest yield of humans saved from the knowledge of evil. He knows that each of us, every single unique one of us, is a unique image of Him, with unique and new input for the whole. Losing any one of us will end a unique image of God that will never be seen again.
God is the best farmer of all, because while he's farming he's fishing, and while he's fishing he's helping, and while he's helping he's leading, and while he's leading he's loving, and while he's loving he'll be the best friend you ever had!
I wish i could say more.. but like the matrix.. no one can be told... they have to see it for themselves..
What a great analogy. I’ve never thought of God as a farmer but now I understand what you mean. In this complex web God holds the entire map. I’m saving your post as a reminder, thanks!

That was good preaching. There's so many ways to expand on this post. Thank you.
