today i came across a thought. There is a God i believe in. My beliefs are formed from my experiences and what I have been taught. The God I perceive, He whom I believe in, is good. However, God is more than the way I perceive him. I have faith in a God who is great. By great I mean a God who IS. This is beyond how humans perceive and understand. Goodness is a way of measuring that is defined by humans. Therefore I work to know the God who is great. The God who is great is not necessarily good, because goodness leans on human understanding and God in his wholeness is outside of that.
The God I believe in is good.
The God I work to know better is Great. He is great, but not necessarily good.
And both are one and the same.
Hmmm...excuse my use of terms such as "faith," "belief," and "understanding" I tried to use them correctly, but may not have.
That was my thought.
Next week, I will have thought more and might return to remove this post.
but there it is.
