The Penny Drops!

You may or may not have gathered that recently i've been finding all the "God Stuff" a bit difficult. To be honest, i think i let theology get the better of me but then, ironically enough, these verses were read it a lecture- it was my Ureka! moment:

Acts 17: 22-28

22Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: "Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.
24"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'

Hope it means as much to you as it did to me!

I think it's amazing that we can have an intimate relationship with God, but can also think of him as unknown too. That's the incredible thing isn't it? That God has more to him than we could ever think or dream of, so much to know, but no clue where to start very often!
