When I consider who God is, what He must really be like, I get the image that God is all the oceans in the world. What He has chosen to reveal to us about Himself is a tiny little drop. And that itty-bitty drip of a drop is so deep, so infinite, that we can not comprehend it. It's like computer animation, getting closer to the drip until it appears huge, then entering into it and getting lost in the enormity and immenseness of it, and never finding the end, only continually going deeper and deeper.
And that's just one drop of all the oceans. And even this picture does not even come close to depicting who God is. He is bigger than all the universe; the whole universe exists inside Him.

My Prayer for Compassion
Zechariah 7:9,10
"...Show mercy and compassion to one another...In your hearts do not think evil of each other."
O my Father, give me Your ears to hear what You have said. Help me to understand Your ways, as they are not my ways. Give me Your eyes to see the bigger picture, beyond the confines of my own little world. Teach me the fuller knowledge of what You are doing in my life, the lives of those around me and in the world, that Your mercy and compassion would flow through me to others whose lives touch mine, and that my thoughts of them would not be evil or negative, but of hope and healing and a good future.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
