How easily we assign and advocate various attributes to God until someone mentions something that we think doesn’t fit. Me thinks that “we thinketh too much” or is it not enough? Well, let’s consider how God participates in His creation.
I’ve had God in so many different boxes in my life time that it’s amazing that God has any freedom at all- in my life.
I’m not sure of all the reasons that God created me, let alone you, but somewhere around the top of the list has been because God wanted a RELATIONSHIP with me. If God is anything He’s relational. How is that that we’ve made the word PRAYER something other than a relationship?
Granting that no human can define God completely (and no where close to that), let’s explore God OUTSIDE
+of time and space, and God INSIDE them. The God of everything is And-Also in the time and space paradigm. Classical Christianity has God outside of time- timeless. But, could He be both? Have you ever pondered that question?
What about Jesus?
Didn’t God participate in TIME through Jesus? Can you say INCARNATION? And didn’t God also participate in something totally antithetical to His nature when He entered humanity with all it’s junk? Are you ready to go deeper with that question? The incarnation isn’t limited to an event 2,000 years ago. You and I are living that incarnational life now (to whatever degree).
While God, the Creator, Consciousness, Father is OUTSIDE of time He is also living IN time through you and me. God is “experiencing” our lives on a daily basis. We’re co-laborers, we’re co-reigning (regardless of how small that might be) with an upside potential beyond imagination. We AM!
The Word became flesh. Flesh is spirit materialized.
I don’t know about you, but that makes me want to BE more than my ego and humanity thinks I can be. I AM becoming more and more ONE as the desire of Jesus for us unfolds in an increasing higher level of consciousness, vibrational resonance, and frequency. Okay then, as we live MORE by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16).
It’s so easy to underestimate the infinite, so why not try to overestimate what we can be, what we already ARE, but have yet to awaken to and embrace. There’s so much more to live for than what’s we’ve been settling for, and I submit to you that IF we’d get a picture of the Christos in us, the hope of glory, the adventure of life would rock our every lovin’ boats!
