Some boxes we learn:
- God is …
- God isn’t …
- God was …
- God wasn’t …
- God will …
- God won’t …
- God can …
- God can’t …
Some spiritual boxes are good. Very good, even.
The box of God’s Word and His will, wow. That’s a good box. A very good box. I’m not always content in His box, but I sure should be.
He loves us more than peacocks – and to my daughter, that’s a lot of love – so how much more should we trust Him who made us, who loves us? If He has a box for me, I want to want to climb in. Most of the time.
So, that’s one problem with spiritual boxes: Some of them are amazingly good and we don’t want to climb in.
Then there are the other kind of spiritual boxes. The ones created not by the Creator, but by the created. Not so good. Not always, anyway.
Silly us, we tend to crawl into those boxes much more eagerly than we do God’s box. Must be the immediate affirmation we receive. The temporary immediate affirmation.
So some of my posts will be about spiritual boxes, both kinds. And maybe one day I’ll get brave enough to show you a sketch or two from my journey out of some of them.
For now, think about your boxes …
Are they God boxes or people boxes?
I like the safety of boxes and I like the freedom of boxlessness.
