My Favorite Godly Mysteries

 God has a sense of humor.  It's righteous humor, but He can be "edgy" lol--nothing gross or filthy, or beyond the pale of Biblical decency . . . just more like a genuinely tough-loving big brother, sibling, parent might do.....  

He doesn't take guff.  When He loves you and wants to get your attention, sometimes He will (of course) use a language you may understand--as in current idioms.  We are dumb donkeys, "worms" as some respected saintly have said, naked, fallen fools (without Him).  

Just like He did with His earthly life--deigning, condescending to come down to our level, to relate and be relatable . . . HE also does this (with Holy Spirit lean-in) every day . . . and every moment.

OUR problem is that we are so dense and distracted and infested/influenced . . . that we can't Hear that He is right there, right here, now!  HE IS ALWAYS SPEAKING TO AND GUIDING YOU.  We just have so much noise and nonsense going on in our minds, our brains, our soul area, such that we can't Hear Him, let alone, start talking together personally, one to one.

BUT He is so amazing and merciful, so that, even though we are as if (adrift in a raging sea, midst a hurricane, head on fire, out of food, out of water, black hawk helicopters hovering above)--forgive me, I do like poetic language (He STILL reaches through the chaos and is a sure rock, life-line.)

He is so tender . . . that He even still comes to and finds us . . . and sometimes, if needed, shouts at and jokes with us--WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET OUR ATTENTION!!!) very personally, and, as you continue to sanctify, by Him through Him, it just gets closer and deeper and more of one with Him.

AND the protection and guidance (in this mess of a world) DOES get stronger and more sure in Faith.

IT AIN'T EASY.  But, yet it is . . . in a way . . . simple.

My most ongoing fascinated seeking and curiosity into the nature and Being and character of God . . . covers a few areas.  They all feel and seem nearly all equally profound and mysterious and beyond mortal comprehension (at this mortal point) . . . . . . . 

One amazement is, indeed, how simple the Gospel is.  And yet, at the same time, how difficult it is to live it, be it, follow it, truly believe it. . . . . . 

Another, I've long mentioned and am still fascinated by . . . and now seeing that many young apologists are also bumping into it and not quite sure how to deal with it .... is...... "oneness and difference" . . . how we seem to have both, a very important self-will COMBINED with God being sovereign.  I know all the discussion between Arminians and Calvinists that's gone on for centuries . . . and I'm well of all the modern debates regarding "free will" as Islam claims it and how Orthodoxy is dealing with it.... ANYWAY.... YES! It is also one of my most beloved and ongoing searches into the Being and Nature of God!  That it, how we both have some sort of free will AND HE also is GOD OF ALL and sovereign over EVERYTHING that happens/happened/will happen. . . . 

Furthermore . . . I love the Trinity.  The three in one.  THAT is another lovely, stunning Godly mystery which I covet, continuing to explore and experience.  For me, it's never been a problem to comprehend spiritually, experientially The Three Persons of The Godhead.  I have long memory and experience with each, I dare say.  However, I do see how the pagans and cultists and witches and Antichrist can get hung up on the concept. 

Well, and there are a few of my favorite Godly mysteries. . . .
