Images of God has been in my mind. The God I believe in, how is he? How is she?
God as the Almighty, the one who knows everything, the one who masters every situation. God has another side also. The child God, the child who runs towards me to throw himself, to throw herself into my arms, the child which believe in me whatever I do. The playful child, the laughing child, the child which forgets her sorrows and live fully here and now.
This image is new to me, it is so much easier to think of God as the old man who knows everything. But God knows us all through, God has lived a human life all through. He knows how it is to be a child, how to play, how to trust, how to be weak. He know how it is to be a teenager, a grownup, old. He knows how it is to be!
My God has all these sides. It is not for me to put him in a box.
How is your God?
