I got sick the other day. Like miserable, thought of food made me nauseated, is it nap time yet? sick. I hated it. I mean there’s never really a good time to get sick but even the thought of chicken noodle soup was not appealing and that’s my go-to for my husband to get on my sick days. It was a sad state of affairs to say the least. All that to say… Sorry I skipped my Wednesday blog.
A week or so ago, I was talking to someone about something and I don’t remember how this came up but, i have to say, I’m impressed by the profundity of it. God is like the TARDIS.
Wait. What?
Well, let’s thing about it. He allows himself to be limited in time and space like the blue police box, and sometimes we like to keep Him in those confines, and yet, he is infinitely MORE than the dimensions of the TARDIS’s exterior. That’s about as much as I fleshed out during the conversation I had with whoever it was…
But now I think about it, and all analogies with God fail. I mean the shamrock and the trinity, or ice/water/steam and the trinity, etc are NOT perfect and if taken too far can be quite the heretical teaching, but sometimes we put God in this box because that’s what we understand. That’s part of the reason he became flesh so that we could truly understand his grace, his love, his mercy….
Oh God, that we would be compelled to love as you have loved us.
