Some another kind of box

we say we can't put God in a box, that he has no limits.
And yet, we often put him in a box saying 'look at her, she is so messed up, so far away - there is no way she will ever turn back to God' - is that not a box? or a limit?
How about those who say that one persons view or belief is wrong - that 'there is no way that God works like that' or 'that is so not God.'

Well, let me tell you something - God is bigger than all of that. He'll bust right through your box and knock you off your feet.

We often put God in a box when it comes to ourselves - in ways we do not notice.
Have you ever thought ' there is no way i will be forgiven for this' or 'i am never going to get out of this mess...' and 'why does this happen to me? there is nothing good that will come from this'

So wrong.

Wether you like it or not - he already forgave you, he'll pull you through in someway, and he will indeed use it for good. So stop screwing with your mind and your heart and accept it.

What about when we judge others saying " he's such a jerk, look at how he treats her - there is no way he can recover from this lowness - he will always be this way. "
Woah now, hang on a minute - he will always be that way? Just because we may not think 'he' will ever want to change doesn't mean 'he' cant and it doesn't mean that God wont pull 'him' from the depths of destruction. God has the power to pull those who are in the depths of destruction and despair out and right into his arms.

So instead of putting God in a box - let us have hope that we will survive, let us have faith that he will pull us out of the dark and into his arms, and let us know without a doubt that he roams free in us and even in the midst of those we deem unworthy - let us not try to trap him, but let us open our eyes to see him working in ways we have been too afraid or too stubborn to see.

He has set us free - don't you think its time we realize that he, the one who freed us, is indeed free himself?
