The cross. I don't understand the cross and its simple complexity. Something that brought so much pain was necessary for the healing of brokenness - I don't understand Jesus. I don't think I ever will. You see, is God really who we perceive He is? Our human minds are so limited. If you've ever spent some time trying to figure out who this God is, what He can do and what He has done, and how He controls the future yet chooses to forget our past, and about this entire world & why evil things happen to good people and good things happen to evil people; and how He manages to weave everything together in this immense fractal tapestry, all so that it works out for the good of those who love Him, despite the choices that we make everyday?

If you've ever spent some time trying to figure out all those things and who this Godhead person/thing really is, I'm sure you'll find that you can only think for so much before your brain just stops and turns to mush. Literally, turns to mush. Basically our minds are too small to take in the capacity and immensity of who God is and the essence of what His glory is. Which brings me to the question, is God really who we perceive He is? When our minds are so limited, doesn't that mean that whatever we perceive Him to be, is actually an extremely downsized and downgraded and tiny part of who God actually is? Funny. He's bigger than the universe and yet we somehow try to fit Him into a box - Into our box of perceptions.

I don't suppose I will ever understand the craziness of who God is. He is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit - Say what? I don't think I want to start thinking about it again, headaches are not really worth it. Food for thought.
