How big?

How big is your God? How do you conceptualize Him? Is He the grumpy grandpa upstairs who might wake up on the wrong side of the bed but has the power to give you some really nice birthday and Christmas presents? Is He like Santa, making lists of who is naughty or nice, withing your good deeds against your bad? Who is your God? Whence come your ideas about Him? From culture? If so, you may think of Him as I just described above. From creation? Then your picture will just begin to grasp who God is:

He is bigger than the mountains,
deeper than the oceans,
brighter than the stars,
wider even than the whole universe.

Creation doesn't tell us how big God is, only how small we truly are. So how do you know how big God is? By reading His own words to describe Himself. They're all over the Bible, but listen to Ephesians 3:14-21:
 
"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

  Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." 

God's glory is unsearchable, yet He invites us to understand it through His word.

The depths of His love are unfathomable, yet he invites us to dive in and drown in it. 

His grace is unthinkable, yet he invites us to ponder it, and find that each new day, His unchanging grace can ever change us to be more like Him. 

That's how big my God is.  How big is yours?
