Why do we make God small

Can we truly imagine what God is?

We try, but the moment we do, we make Him smaller than He is. We shrink the Infinite into something our minds can handle. We put God in boxes, boxes built from our doctrines, our cultures, our fears, and our need to be right. We convince ourselves that our way to God is the only way, when even our own scriptures describe a God who is omni… limitless, boundless, all-present. A God who is everywhere and in everything.

So why do we fight, divide, and even kill for our ideas of God?

Why do we defend our interpretations as if they could ever contain the fullness of the Divine? If God is truly all there is, then why can’t all genuine expressions of God : those rooted in love, compassion, truth, and light, be real and true?

God is.

Simply, profoundly, eternally… He is.

And He is in every one of us.

More than 6 billion unique beings on this earth, each one a distinct and divine expression of the Creator. Extensions of God’s own essence walking in human form. Many of us forget who we are. We get lost in the noise, the fear, the expectations, the pain of the world.

But if we would just be still

if we would pause long enough to listen

we would hear it:

the quiet voice, the presence, the essence of God living inside this body that houses us.

We are expressions.

We are reflections.

We are the children of the Infinite.

And God is far bigger, far more beautiful, and far more present than anything we could ever put into words.
