I was having trouble deciding on which topic to do my next blog post on and narrowing it down to just one topic. I have this problem where I can jump from one idea to the next and before long I've thrown several topics together making a confusing mess of thoughts.
Tonight was the opening of my church's revival. Evangelist, Bro. Tommy Oglesby brought a very powerful message from John 1:1-5. Verse 1 really stood out to me. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Part of the message was centered around that verse and the complexity of God. Well God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Except they are also one together, as God. And the Word has always existed. It was with God. Only it WAS God, too. That's a lot to understand. I believe every word of that and I understand it to an extent, but there's no way I'll ever completely comprehend it. God is way too complex and intricate for any human to be able to comprehend all of His wonders and capabilities.
Tonight I was skimming through the Bible, just looking for something to stand out to me. I began to get frustrated. I had so many thoughts that I couldn't put into words in a way that anyone could understand exactly what I wanted to get across. I feel like this a lot actually. Not one person knows every single thing about me. Different people know different things. But no one understands all my experiences, joys, and pains. There's so many sides to me that no one can ever fully comprehend.
Then I flipped back over to read John 1:1. My study bible had a footnote that read, "Do you ever feel your life it too complex for God to understand? Remember, God created the entire universe, and nothing is too difficult for him. He created you..."
There is one person who knows each of us. He knows us better than we know ourselves. He designed us each to find joy in different things. To feel pain from different things. He created us knowing our fears, our loves, and knowing what trials we would be faced with. We are complex. Because we were created by a complex God. No one can ever fully understand us. But it's so refreshing to know that the Creator of the Universe does. He's holding the entire earth in His hand, yet He still knows the desires of your heart, and every single thought or feeling that occurs to you. This leads to my conclusion.
I believe God intended for no one to be able to completely understand us, besides Him. He created us to rely on Him. God is powerful and He is to be feared and respected greatly, but I've also found Him to be a best friend that no one else can compare to. There's been many times I can't fully express my feelings to even my closest family and friends, but I can feel the Holy Spirit wrapping me up, acknowledging and understanding the depths of me. It's simple to God, and I can't imagine not having Him to lean on. We were made to need a relationship with Christ. If you haven't accepted Christ you are missing out big time, and I encourage you to accept Him as your Savior. Even some Christians lack this relationship with Christ. God wants to hear from us more than just on Sundays. We need a personal relationship that requires to rely on Him all throughout each and every day. And some Christians already have this relationship with Christ, but John 1:1 proves God's complexity. There's always more to learn about God and His word. Make God your best friend. He knows you better than anyone.
