A description of God

I`ve been putting this off, put I think it is time to start to describe God as I see Him. In my contemplations around the devine, I have come to believe that there are certain words or principles which describe Gods basic nature. I shall try to write one article on each of them, but it should be said that this list will not be, nor could it ever be, neither comprehensive nor entirely presise, as God is unknowable and unexplainable through language.
First and foremost, God is good. I think this fact would be agreed upon by most religions, at least the larger ones (including Buddhism, if you count their impersonal first principle as "God", which I do in this case). The problem arises when we try to define what "good" means.
