When God Is Too Big

When God is too big, then we must cut Him down to size.... So we make shiny idols or sad dolls and some vainly try to squeeze the Lord of the Universe into small rigid boxes of dogma and doctrine, while others with cold hearts would stuff Him into cheap bags of denial: "See,' they shout with pride, 'Look! There's nothing in this sack--empty, empty, empty-- only fools believe!' But the world weary, those wise to human nature, its quickness to evil, and who see the essential emptiness of mortality-- only they have learned to listen for God in the wind, to seek Him in the blackest night, and in time, they'll even feel His heartbeat in the quickness of life, and sense the wonder of His strength in the glue called love.
