I am realizing again today that my understanding of Who God is falls terribly short. For some reason I keep trying to fit God into the small boundaries of my understanding. Lovingly, He comes along and blasts the retaining walls. Over time I've found myself trying to make the space bigger in order to house Him. I wonder if I'll ever accept that He does not fit in a box of any size, no matter how large.
This morning I have been stopped in my tracks and stand in awe because of a small sense of His greatness that has filled my spirit. There is a deepness to His love that I have yet to discover. Love that cannot be exhausted or consumed. He lavishes love on His children with every breath. It does not cease. It will not end.
Our lives are a series of starts and stops. But with God there is no beginning and there is no ending. He is Love. He is Faithful. Always has been. Always will be.
My heart yearns for a deeper understanding and knowledge of Who God is. I feel silly when I realize that I've tried to diminish Him in order to understand Him. But I am delighted that He keeps revealing more of Himself to me through His word and Holy Spirit.
The song I'm singing today is by Mark Altrogge, "You are beautiful beyond description. Too marvelous for words. Too wonderful for comprehension, like nothing ever seen or heard. Who can grasp your infinite wisdom? Who can fathom the depth of your love? You are beautiful beyond description. Majesty, enthroned above. And I stand, I stand in awe of You.... Holy God, to whom, all praise is due, I stand in awe of You."
