God is Too Big

God is Too Big

God is too big to be experienced

Inside.

I need to be outside

Looking at mountains.

The Grand Canyon works too.

Big.

He is so vast

Taller than the Alps

Wider than the horizon

Wilder than the hurricanes

And tsunamis.

He is gigantic.

Bigger than our universe

Of four hundred billion

Galaxies

Each with billions of stars

He is just too big to

Experience in a room

Or a house

Or even the finest cathedral.

Except

when we reach for Him

In Love.

It is in love that we can

Find Him

And He can reach down

Out of eternity

And sweep us up

In a God sized embrace.

It is love that He wants

For us to feel,

To give to Him

And give to each other.

A huge, giant, enormous,

Unstoppable love

That He blasts toward us.

Shouting with a Big Bang!

Look!

Look at this!

The Mountains!

The Canyons!

The oceans!

The rivers!

The trees!

The very leaves

Shining with His love.

The tiniest of hummingbirds

Flashes of light and color

Love on wings.

And us.

Us. The people He created,

Think we know so much.

We are so important.

So evolved.

We scrape and crawl

And then parade with our

Arrogance.

Our perceived power.

We created this!

This Building. This house.

This car. This world.

We did it all.

And so we don’t need to look.

At Him.

The one who loved us

Into being.

He is so Big and we

Are so small. Tiny.

Miniscule.

Insignificant really

As far as eternity is concerned.

Our empires,

Little and big

Crumble

We all come to an end.

He does not.

But if we will just

Stop.

And look around.

And remember…

Everything.

Everything.

Is from Him.

Listen!

The wind,

The rustling trees.

The hum of bees.

The call of birds.

It’s Him.

Love Me! I love you so much.

I am here for you.

Reach out your hand.

I am waiting.
