Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ~ Romans 12:2 (NIV)

When I grew up, I put away childish things.
We don’t need a scary God even if
that’s the God introduced to us as children.
We can even write a job description,
a summary of a Power we’re willing
to surrender to. He doesn’t care
who we think He is or whether
we consider Him a She. “It” is even all right.
God knows who God is and that out minds
can’t comprehend completely.
That’s okay. We can trust…some…
and the some will expand, get closer
to truth, and God as we understand God,
or as we don’t, can become our closest friend,
and we will approach knowing
His good, pleasing and perfect will.
