Thinking About God

I have been thinking about a lot these days.  I talk with God all the time.  I am sure God talks to me.  Sometimes I hear but do not listen.  Sometimes I listen and I do not hear.  But I know God is always still speaking.

I carefully try not to refer to God as "Him" or "Her" or "It" because God for me is so much more than any of those individually or combined.  We cannot limit God.  We can only be limited by our own finite ability to understand.  There is no way we can transcend our current forms here on earth.  Even allowing ourselves to go into communion with God, we cannot know all that God is.  If we open ourselves to hearing God, though, we cannot help but be filled by the what some might call a holy spirit leading us to become the expression of the true selves God intends  us to be.

Just loving God is not enough.  And accepting God is only a step.  Surrendering to God only says we don't have faith in the abilities God blessed us with.  God is.  We are.  We are not just together.  We are one.  We are one with the One, that which created us.

Oh, I think I sometimes just want to shake my head and not think about it.  It can become too overwhelming.  That is when I realize I am just human and will never be able to fully comprehend the nature of God at least not while a human here on Earth.  We cannot ever hope to fully understand that which is infinite as we were born and we die.  That is the only thing we know for sure.  The infinite, the universe, that being we call and know as God, we cannot contain so we cannot ever hope to fully understand.  We can only rest on the everlasting arms of faith, and know that whatever God is, God is more than even that.
