How do I view God? Or should I say where/what/when/why do I view God as I view God...
My view of God has changed from time to time like the landscape view as I ride the train of life. Sometimes harsh and hard views, sometimes mirror views, sometimes pleasant, comforting views, sometimes nothing interesting, somestimes pitch darkness, sometimes warm and loving... but always looking out at something/someone that is out there…
Coming to understand the paradoxical personality of God has been challenging. He hate sin but embrace the sinner, not from moment to moment but at the same instance... When sin abound, grace abounds much more... What does it mean to let this paradox sit in my heart?
When all is dark, nothing I desire is available, no light at the end of the tunnel, will I still embrace and continue to want and need Him? Will I still see Him as the answer, the purpose, the reason to my existence?
It continues to challenge me that there is nowhere I can get to where God is. No past I can return to where God was. He is where He is now and continues to be, with me. As for my loving, self-sacrificing, His thoughts are not my thoughts.
