Who is God?
Human images of God;
God’s personal self-revealing to us in prayer is filtered through our perceptive template. I image God to be who I want/need God to be.
Yet God is constantly drawing us to who God is beyond of our projections.
What happens to “the Promise”, when God and our way to God, our prayer, is narrowed down to formulas, and sanctioned methods?
Who are we to say a certain experience is wrong or right?
Who are we to discard pathways to God because they fail to conform to official versions (personal, formation, church authorization)?
When God comes isn’t it a surprise, speaking to us despite our practice-forms and methodologies?
Human control over the ways of God is a perennial arrogance of humanity. We have only to take a look at salvation history.
