I came across this really cool saying the other day. G-O-D-I-S-N-O-W-H-E-R-E
It can be read 'God is nowhere' or 'God is now here.'
The idea is that when we say 'God is now here' then we have forced God to be nowhere else. And when we say that 'God is nowhere' we have allowed God to be here with us.
'God is now here' - When we claim to know exactly who God is and how he works. When we point to something as proof of God's existence. When we claim to God as being a certain way. This is when we fail to allow God to be anything else.
'God is nowhere' - When we make no claim to know exactly who God is and how he works. When we refuse to prove God's existence. When do not claim God as being any certain way. This is when we allow God to be all that he is.
I love this idea that as soon as we grasp God as an object or claim that he acts in a certain way we loose God. And it is only when we become uncomfortable and doubt who we have decided God to be that God can freely work in us.
