Who is God?
God is not mocked. He is not fooled. He is not sorrowful. He is not disappointed. He is not expectant. He is not worried. He doesn't hold his breath. He does not hope or wish upon a star. He is not waiting till next year or contemplating changes in the lineup. He is not on th edge of His seat. He is complete as a spider or bear. As stone or bench he is complete.
It is only we who are unfinished. And God is indifferent as history. He has not abandoned a world He has never embraced or set much stock in.
Other preachers tell you to welcome God into your hearts as if He were some new kid in the neighborhood or a fourth for Bridge. What good is such advice? He will not come. He is complete. He has better things to do with his time. He doesn't go out. He stays home nights. His home is Heaven. Death is His neighborhood. Life is yours.
He asks nothing of us, beloved. Not our lives, not our heart. He would not know what to do with such gifts. He would be embarrassed by them. He does not write Thank You notes. He is not polite or conventional. He has no thought for the ought that counts.
