ABOVE IT ALL

Nice to live in an ivory tower. Above any strife and concerns. Living on a cloud, prefect and without fear.

I was in the gym the other day having a conversation with one of my acquaintances. He is a nice person and intelligence.

However he wants to think of spiritual matters only in logical terms. There is a need to learn, but only on his terms.

It is sad to me. I mean how he does so want to find God, but only on his level. Trying to analysis anything related to eternity on a human level is rather pointless.

Still some try. Only the answers they seek will always elude them. They will be vapors one never is able to hold onto.

Sitting in some tower where you don't gaze at eternity in a way that it remotely realistic is not going to help. To wrap oneself in reason can be good.

However, if it becomes just another case of expecting God to become what we define Him to be. Which is not my idea of inspiration.

One can not blame people for trying make sense out of the eternal. But when you look with mortal eyes and not the soul, it will never make sense.

Just not something you can get those who want only black and white to understand. It will never be something we can measure correctly.

What is amazing in how the mind really does have the ability to probe into eternity. Theology does grapple with all the questions.

However, that is not to be some formula or definition that is so perfect and special that nothing else can be included. That type of attempt to define the Lord never works.

Yet, for all the effort and pondering, truth just doesn't always prevail. We let it get lost i the questions.

There truly is only one way to approach heaven. By faith. Trust in more than oneself. To look with spiritual eyes.

It will always mean seeing some parts and not others. But know the Lord is there and has all the pieces.

For that we can celebrate. And it is always a joy if we let it become one. But some will never find that choice.
They will be too busy looking up meaning for God in the dictionary.
