I'm a very logical person I've decided. If something doesn't make sense, I find a way to make it make sense to me. And if I can't figure something out that I care about (I mean, who cares if I can't figure out the time it takes two trains travelling from two different locations at different speeds to reach the same place. Don't care, so I'm not gonna put any effort into trying to find a way to make it make sense to me.), I'll rip it apart until I understand it.
God's love. And your acknowledgement of Him. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Friend, Omniscient, Justice, Holy, Loving... In Sunday School today the guy talking was asking "How are you supposed to treat the Creator of the Universe, Omniscient One, like a Friend?". Like, he was saying that He's too Holy and Amazing to call and treat as a friend, but He is. To me, it makes perfect sense. It's like... I look at it like, a relationship between a boyfriend and girlfriend - a long relationship where they're totally in love. You can be all sweet and lovey dovey one on one, and be totally into each other. And you can tell that you're each other's worlds. That's like the Holy and Omniscient God and you. Then when you're with your boyfriend in public, you still love him, but because you're with your friends and stuff, it's more of a friend relationship, but the love is still there between you guys. That's the Friend God. It's possible to love someone to the same degree at all times. And if you think about it, we're supposed to fear God. Well, when you're in the "friend" mode with a significant other, there's still always that fear in the back of your mind "Omg, he's gonna think I'm flirting with this guy I'm talking to". So you can still consider God "Friend" and fear Him at the same time.
I dunno. This makes sense to me. And I know by putting God and our relationship in terms of boyfriend and girlfriend, it isn't even a fraction of what a relationship between us and God should be like, but it was just the way that I visualize how the relationship with God should be. Except, God's relationship isn't just temporary. And doesn't... Nevermind. Promised I wouldn't go there.
