I am a human that relates to God with the limitations that I posses. I seem to think that God is in time or works in a humanly mindset when He is so much more than that. God is outside of time and gender. God is more than my mind can ever comprehend but even the thought of Him being uncomprehendable boggles me. Reading the Shack I have found that I limit God in so many ways. Not grasping who He is I ignore the fact that He may be voisterous and so full of life! Of course He would be. The Shack mentioned or addressed the fact that Jesus was as a bird with His wings clipped. Jesus was fully God but did not tap into that realm. Jesus was fully human but was able to engulf the relationship, the perfect relationship with God that we were intended to have. Therefore God doing the miracles. We need to embrace who God is.
In this book, God is speaking to a character named Mack. God is teaching Him how Jesus performed so many miracles and this is what the book said. --
"Jesus is the first to do it to the uttermost--the first to absolutely trust my life within Him, the first to believe in my love and my goodness without regard to apperance or consequence."
----So, When he healed the blind?
"He did so as dependent, limited being trusting in my life and power to be at work within him and through Him, Jesus, as a human being, had no power within himself to heal anyone."
"That's how He lives and acts a true human, how every human is designed to live--out of my life" --God
-wow-
These insights are astounding. My life is designed to live out of His life. Soley dependent on Him. God is a being to be discovered and instead of tapping into Him we shut Him out or cut Him off by trapping Him in these stupid boxes.
God is all races, genders personalities and looks. Everything there is...He is. Limit Him to one race personality or gender? MADNESS!
