how do you resolve
a best friend God against a God who deserves our fear?
one who you can turn to at any moment versus one you should make an appointment with
one who you can spill out your guts to, but one you should not even speak in front of because words are pointless babble
one who has arms open wide for us to run into, however, is one that we should not dare to approach but fall flat on our faces in front of instead
one that deserves our undying loyalty, but who also deserves our awe
one who we can dare to approach rather casually versus one who we should dare to approach only with a completely reverent attitude
how do you do it? can it even be done?
is that just another aspect of God? complete opposite but both at the same time? demanding one thing versus the other, but accepting them all? welcoming them all?
how do you know what attitude God wants from you? does it change depending on the circumstances? the time of day? how you are feeling? how He is feeling?
These are good questions Kreesta. I wish I had answers-unfortunately I can only add to them.
