pictures of God...

What kind of picture in your mind do you have of God? Perhaps you picture God as being really, really nice (all of the time). He’s tender. This tender, nice picture of God always has him holding a lamb with flowing “Fabio” styled hair and silky robes. He’s just a nice guy with great hair and great robes. Perhaps you picture God as a cuddly, stuffed animal. He would never talk, but He would always be there to comfort.
Maybe you picture God as the great terminator in the sky. He's an individual who is mean and enjoys making people miserable. Or maybe you picture God as a vending machine. You just input some cash and out comes something that will satisfy...for a moment. Perhaps God actually is different than our pictures. Scripture tells the story of one man who finally said, "I'm speechless, in awe - words fail me. I'm convinced: You can do anything and everything." When pictures fail, fade, or get lost, go without words. Get speechless before the One who can do anything.
