Some of My Thoughts on Vacation

Wrote this in my journal while we were out at the lake in a moment of honesty...

I'm sorry God.
I've diminished who You are.
I've made you small.
I've made you simple.
I've dwindled your holiness.
I've made you temporal.
I've limited your knowledge.
I've weakened your strength.
I've labeled you.
I've dissected you.
I've neglected you.
I've "protected" myself from your fullness.

I've forgotten who you truly are.

In the end, I've done none of this.
You are who you are, and I can't change that.

Help me rediscover the enormous, complex, holy, eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, complete ONE that YOU are.

I don't want the God I've created,
I want the God that you are.
