What we don’t know about God could fill the Library of Congress and because ignorance feels like vulnerability, we fill in the blanks about God either making him a rather mild, grandfatherly sort bent on only noticing our good points and willfully ignorant of our flaws, leaning in to our passions and making mild suggestions OR we imagine His “love” is full of passive aggression, veiled frustration, and irreparable disappointment at who we are turning out to be. Our difficulty in worshiping a God we can’t imagine means we are often engaged in excuse making, hiding, or indifference to His opinion. In today’s readings, we examine the ways we respond to this God of our own creation, and seek to set our ignorance aside with prayers that the Lord will reveal the richness of His love, the greatness of His glory, and the fullness of His plan for us.
