I wonder if we all have more than one concept of God. I think I do. There’s my mature, intellectual image of what God is and what my relationship with God *should* be. The God that I could describe and then rightfully claim that I didn’t get it right because God is ultimately indescribable. This is a loving God, a sustaining God. A God that guides rather than manipulates. The God within, a becoming God, a co-creator… And then there is the God I wish was there when I’m feeling lost in the chaos. This is the God of childhood. The Santa Claus God. The omnipotent God who can swoop in and fix all my problems. I don’t believe that is the way God is, but I sure wish it was so.
