Invisible Man

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross. - Hebrew 12:2

As a boy, I was fascinated by the book The Invisible Man. The main character played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek, staying just out of reach of more mortals "cursed" with a visible nature. To have a physical presence, he wore clothes and wrapped his face in bandage . When it was time to escape, he simply removed everything and disappeared.

I wonder if we have similar thoughts about our unseen God. We feel He is beyond our reach and express it in song with one of my favorite hymns:

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

In light inacessible

Hid from our eyes.

Yet, while declaring the wonder of God, the hymns speaks of a God who is not just invisible:

All praise we would render - O help us to see

' Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

We perceive that God is distant, far off, inaccessible, and hidden. But we need a God who is accessible, and we wonder how to have a meaningful relationship with Him.

We will never fully comprehend what God is like. Yet He Himself is accessible to us. In part, that is why Jesus came - to "show us the Father" (John 14:8-11) and to bring us close to Him, because "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation" (Col. 1:15).

Our God is an invisible God, beyond our limited comprehension. Thankfully, Jesus came to show us how near to us He really is. - Bill Crowder

God's presence with us is His greatest present to us.

Forgot who told me... or read from where, I got to know that God is just beside me... whenever I need Him, I seek Him, He will always be there... He is someone I can fully rely on... I will do something that I think God will like it, and just do it... never think twice...

Someone may say it is too much, it is over, it shouldn't be in this way... and so on... But I trust the God that I believe... He is all over anything and being both my guidian and best friend... and, :P I wish some day later I will marry Him... :P... XP
