There are moments in my life when I perceive God through the lens of my humanity. This perception is how I believe God is. I believe the essence of who He is is determined by who I am. His Godness is established through my personal viewpoint. My definition of God has become subjective.

God by His very nature defies defintion. His essence lies outside of my little perception. His nature goes beyond mere words or whatever description I may attach to Him. The mercy He shows may not make sense to me. The justice He executes sometimes perplexes me. The love He expresses may be uncomfortable with me.

You see, the God I serve doesn't fit comfortably in a box. Yes, the Word of God reveals some of Him to me. But, sometimes, in the comfort of my existence, God becomes like a nice old sweatshirt. You've had it for a long time. It is worn in. You love to wear it.

God is so much more than that and I am glad He is. I want Him to be more than definable. I want Him to defy description. I want His holiness to be awe-inspiring. I want His love to be so wild and free. This selfless love full of commitment which brings my response of adoring worship.
