What if there was a God?

        Let me preface this entry with this thought. What if God asked you tomorrow morning "those look like some tasty Lucky Charms your eating, mind if I sit and enjoy them with you?" Funny right? maybe a bit absurd, but otherwise just a good laugh and not much more thought put into it.

        Now Imagine this if you will. Pretend with me for a moment that there is a God. Indeed a mighty God. Try to wrap your mind around what the implications would be just this once. Imagine this God, creating everything from the smallest cell to the vast infinity of outer space. This God, programming every strand of DNA to fulfill a purpose. A scientist and an artist. Big enough to create infinity, surpassing what we call time. This God, living in the present, the past, and the future all at once. This God, creating the sun; a great mass of flame that would serve as light and warmth. Imagine him measuring with his heavenly ruler the distance to the earth, not an inch too far or too short but just enough. Just enough to sustain you and I and every other living thing. Imagine his heavenly city if you can. Imagine it, surpassing the glory of the entire universe. Can you see it? Is it even possible to fathom? This God, he cannot be measured, he cannot be understood; his glory is so incredible that if we were to look him in the face we would die.

Too often I try to put God in a little box, one that cannot exist. God created the box, his existence is so mind blowing that not even a million scholars, scientists, priests, pastors, psychologists, or philosophers could hope to understand him. Yes, this is the God I believe in. Thankfully God doesn't leave us in the dark though.

        This God, the same one that mapped the heavens and measured ends of the universe, loves you. This God created you and he knows you better than you could ever know yourself. This God wants only to spend time with you! This God, the ultimate creator, king of kings, Lord of lords, omnipresent, all powerful, superior to the best of the best, worthy of our worship for eternity, programmer of our DNA, the one who provides for the lions and gives the wild ostrich its speed, who designed it all out of his own unfathomable imagination, the savior of the world, the father of our fathers, the fountain of all wisdom, the conqueror of kings, the masterful artist, the brilliant scientist, the incredibly underestimated, the profoundly pure, the purely righteous, the righteously just, the justified high priest, the ultimate sacrifice, the beginning and the end, the mighty and the humbled, the glorious and the spat on, the victorious one; yes... this God, he loves you and I.

        I only hope that you understand one thing; this God, were he to exist, cannot be fathomed. We are so small and we understand so little, but our God loves us. Our God came to our level, he limited himself, and became Jesus Christ.

        Imagine then, what you might do in response to such a profound truth. Imagine if that God were to come knocking on you door tomorrow morning and ask, "Those look like some tasty lucky charms your eating, mind if I sit and enjoy them with you?"

        I wish I could understand but I can't. Its impossible to comprehend that as I ate my Lucky Charms this morning, this God I have described to you, wanted to enjoy them with me. I think if I did understand then my life might look a little different; my dark times might be a little brighter, my bright times might be a little bit less about myself,

and all my times would be spent in awe that my God 

simply 

wants 

me.
