Who is God?

who is God?

If God is he who he should be, a Creator above and beyond my creatureliness, then this would be an absurd stupid vain question.  it's worse than a grass blade trying to understand me.  heck, even i can't  fathom my own existence much less...

despite this reality, if there is a question, there must be an answer some where out there.  the problem is that i don't know how to reach out and grasp the answer.

there is a hopeful solution, however, if God is who he  should be, having all the power and care enough about my question.  i can't reach out to grasp God's reality, but God can reach down and in and make Himself known to me.

Who are you, God?

Some one beyond my creatureliness.  whence come this notion of some one above and beyond mankind-God?  live barely long enough and anyone will experience our limitless ways of limitations.  wonderfully made and assemble together as human beings are, we're like a wild flower, glorious one moment, wither the next.  yet, we won't stop philosophizing and complicating our lives and the universe.

dear God, this complicate working universe points to an intelligent engineer; this awesome creation sings of a creative artist; this huge puzzle in the making speaks of an amazing planner who cares enough to piece life and lives together; the story of mankind and of each person tell of a magnificent writer;  everything good and awesome and making sense speak of a master mind behind all this.  then there must be you out there (or could be in here!), the One who is credited for all these things which some of us witness and pay attention to and even study them.

but dear God, there's also disappointment, bitterness, failures, broken heart, ignorance, pride, injustice, evil in short out there.  when we face these in life, we don't know how to reconcile them with the wonders of the world. and then, there are many whose lives were overshadowed by this darkness of evil more than light and they naturally forget what light is.

God, if you are who you should be: all good, all powerful, all loving.  please forgive me for saying "if", and forgive us for letting darkness overshadowing our lives.  please shed your light into our minds, reach out and reach into our hearts, heal us of our brokenness, make whole again what you have created, and bring to completion what you have begun in each and all of us.
