If you look very careful you can see a crucifix at the front of the picture. It is on the altar in front of the stain glass window. Admittedly, it is not a clear photo to see it, but never the less, it is easily missed in comparison to the image of Jesus that is the size of the side of a house.
It got me reflecting, can our God be too big? Where my mind and spirit went to is, can we credit and blame God for lots of things, occasions, tragedies even blessings that God has not initiated?
Perhaps you are asking, is my God is too small to even ask this question? Perhaps? But it seems at least as likely that we project God on to everything that happens, because we assess, that God wants, desires, wills it to happen according to the mysterious will and purposes.
My God is that big that some of that is possible, but also my God is a God of the small things, the shadows, the background as well as the foreground, seemingly eclipsed by the hugeness of the situation. A God with otherness values.
Yes, we have a multi omni God, but that doesn’t mean God is sometimes restrained to greater principles to be found quietly weeping on the margins, whispering, “what the Hell?”
