God makes me cry. Big, juicy wet tears. Tears of incomprehensible joy, grief, comfort, shame. Tears that cannot be classified, cannot be wiped away with a single tissue. Tears that fill an entire sink and empty my self.
God is enormous. God is in every detail and in every galaxy. He who created the swirling stars created the flow of blood within our bodies. He set in motion the most amazing cycles and then set each of those cycles in relation to the other cycles so that the water cycle relies on the respiration cycle which relies on a million other intricate cycles. And while we struggle to understand the simplest of cycles, we realize that humanity is another example of intricately woven relationships. There is no thing outside of the other things except...Him.
God is holy, set apart. God is the Father, deeply involved in every aspect of our lives. He is everything and we cannot even begin to understand but in the depth of awe, we find the simplest explanation. He is. He is and He cares. Really, really cares. Drop everything and focus, cares.
God makes me cry. Then He holds me in his arms and wipes away the tears. And I know that it is well.
