Last night I just so happen to be thinking about God. I was thinking about I have put God in this box called my perception. As a young one I am sure I thought God could do anything, but as I hit puberty and my sense of everything in the world is wonderful quickly faded I started putting God in this box. It started as a small box and then as I grew up year after year I would think "I am getting rid of my box!!" and I will from now on see God as a mystery (to which He is), but I wasn't getting rid of my box, I was just making a bigger box. my box contains silly little things that I use to take as absolute. One that I was thinking of specificly is that kissing for longer than 3 seconds is bad, or voting democrat is bad, or cursing is bad etc. etc. and because of my wonderful little co-dependant brain I believed every word of it was true.
We all grow up with these boxes and they are formed in the beginning by our parents and whatever they say is truth. But as we grow older, we break away from some of those truths and have our own. But of course, this doesn't happen until we are angry and bitter at our parents for being so closed-minded for a short period of time or maybe forever (everyone is different). I still put God in my box sometimes and every once in a while I get a burst of revelation that God is bigger than my perception.
He is a mystery.
