Since
I examined the physical world of cause and effect last month (Shared on my blog here), I thought I might
expand on that topic this month by stating how I wish God would be a cause that
affects me. He certainly has that
ability – Jesus is proof of that! I
really need Him, even though sometimes, I don’t seek Him. I know He did not set it up this way, and
with good reason, but I would still sometimes like a God who would stop me from
making mistakes, a God who, whenever I tended to go my own, human way or make sinful choices, would turn me around pronto, perhaps slap some sense into me, and say
“What are you doing? Stop it! Why are you acting like an idiot! Remember that you’re trying to make me proud
of you! Don’t screw it up!”

But
that doesn’t happen, so I’ll just have to continue trying to understand God in
my limited, human way, and even though my puny mind can’t comprehend exactly
what He is and how He exists, it will just have to be enough as I follow in His
light loving Him, worshipping Him, and learning from His words and teaching.
Can
you blame me for wanting more? The
nature of God is that He is so close to us, yet is also far away. We cannot sense Him with our five senses, or
at least not that I’ve experienced, and if I did sense Him, I’d have to
question whether or not it was truly God, or something else. I’d probably end up questioning my own sanity. Because I haven’t sensed Him with my physical
senses, it makes Him pretty much undetectable and removed from the rest of us,
even if, in reality, He is not. And even
if I could sense Him, and knew it was my Creator, and not some trick of the
mind, or of Satan, I still couldn’t comprehend or understand Him, since He is
so immense and omnipotent and exists outside of this dimension.
Yet
all I want, all I’m asking for, is a little push in the right direction.
