God, You amaze me! ...and make my head hurt!

So I've been going out to my friend's church's bible study, and it truly has been enlightening. Now I think or at least try to think about some things that I had never even considered. And it really blows my mind and makes my head hurt thinking about it!

Have you ever thought about what it means to be infinite?
to be perfect? holy? absolute? free?
I thought I knew what these terms meant, but little did i know...

During one of the bible studies, the pastor talked about what "infinte" and "perfect" meant and what "infinitely perfect" meant because that's who God is.. INFINITELY PERFECT!!!! Huh?! hahah i really was trying to figure out what that meant for literally two weeks (and kinda gave up; still don't quite get it)

But what I know for sure is that God truly is amazing. He is beyond any of words and terms humans can bring up to describe Him.

He is infinitely perfect;
He is invisible;
He is eternal;
and soooooo soooo much more infintely!

YET,
the Infinite entered the finite space;
the Invisible became Visible;
the Eternity entered time...
just so that He can be Immanual, God with us.

Jesus left His glory above,
to be like us in flesh,
born of a young virgin,
to obey the Father's will.


On another note, it suddenly hit me today when I realized our existence only is possible because God allows it. If He decides to not let me take another breath or to just decide to end the world or make it disappear or bring a flood like the days of Noah (let's just pretend)! Wow, how dependent we are upon HIM! We can do NOTHING apart from the good grace of God! He completely sustains us. Not only does He sustains this physical body of mine but my eternal life is in Him. I am in Him. My life is in Him. AHHHHHHHh my head hurts really, but... God, You truly are amazing! Well.. Duh, cuz You created me! How will I ever fathom Your ways...!!
