Why do we insist on putting God in a box so we can understand? When thoughts of God take us out of our comfort zone we rationalize his ways… his power… his infinite wisdom. We try to put him into terms that make sense to us. I don’t truly understand how gravity works but…
His question was “how often do you read your bible and when do you pray”? As I ministered to his needs my simple answer was “What does it matter”? God does not want us to keep a check list or a time table on how often we do things. We are not making points simply…
Deeper and deeper. I never knew that as I studied and prayed more each day that I would see his face… I would look into his eyes… his heart. Now MY heart is not mine to keep but wholly his. As a common man I fear that he will lose faith in me. That he will see the ugliness…
