God Is a BIG Idea!

I have often grappled with the concept of “hearing God’s voice,” and relating to a diety called God.  What does that mean and what does God’s voice sound like?

I never hear an audible voice.  It is an impression on my mind and heart at best. 

Maybe we put limitations on the idea of God because we have barely scratched the surface of truly understanding him….yet I say confidently …

What a ponderous thought. 

I don’t want to box him in.  I don’t want to misunderstand Him or mislabel Him.  I want to free God to be big and large in my life. 

And so, I offer you these thoughts on the God that I am coming to know.

He is the God of you and me!

God Is … therefore I believe in HIM!

You can’t   deny him

You can’t   ignore him

You can’t   abuse him

You can’t   hide from him

You can’t   out-do him

You can’t   beat him in arm wrestling

You can’t   outfox him

You can’t   outrun him

You can’t   out-think him

You can’t   out-maneuver him

You can’t   outsmart him

You can’t   live without him

You can’t   run away from his love

You can’t   avoid him

You can’t   put a lock on him

You can’t   hoard him for yourself

I guess the only thing one can do is refuse to accept His love.

And yet …

And yet, His love still reaches out for you and me in a thousand ways.

So, what is God all about?

He is love to the max.  There is nothing you can do that would ever stop God from loving you.

I can relate to that kind of God.

So again I ask … What is God all about?

God is a BIG IDEA.
