how do i define someone
Who is bigger than i?

uncontainable,
unexplainable.
knows fully;
but, of yet, cannot be fully known.
i know his presence
yet words, oft too small to define.

quiet voice,
yet penetrates so deeply.
center to my definition, existence.
does not need affirmation or belief
for existence or presence.
so much bigger than i.

historical, promised, real, flesh and blood,
yet not bound
but by, to
His Father.
aroma. essence. source.
not to be confused with soft nor fuzzy;
but decidedly good, sweet, true.

held by justice.
willing to give it all: mercy by definition.
inexplicable.
but not a contradiction.
reason for my actions, all.

standard to which i'm held.
charged. judged. fall.
by which redeemed. pardoned. whole.

set free to follow.

Wow, good stuff, the first part of this post reminded me of a few quotes by A.W. Tozer:

"To admit that there lies one who is beyond us, who exists outside all of our categories, who will not be dismissed with a name, who will not appear before the bar of our reason, nor submit to our curious inquiries: this requires a great deal of humility...Few of us have let our hearts gaze in wonder at the I AM, the self-existent Self...of which no creature can think. Such thoughts are too painful for us."
