This blog has been devoted to the God who cannot be contained. Now, this is a concept that is impossible for us to wrap our minds around. We are bound by time and space. We think in terms of shapes, features, personalities, places, respiration, thinking, learning, etc. Hence, when we try to imagine a being who has no boundaries or limitations, our minds fail us.
God exists outside of everything that limits us! God has no beginning or end. God simply exists, eternally! God isn't confined to one place or time. God has no shape, gender, eyes, ears, hair, hands, legs, genitalia, etc. God doesn't need to breathe or drink water to sustain "his" life. God doesn't need to eat, rest, or sleep. God's mind and thinking doesn't depend on a physical brain and is NOT limited by the information it receives through five senses! God doesn't have to do things a certain way - God can ignite a Big Bang and cause life to evolve.
Moreover, God's reality and perspective is NOT limited or influenced by the personal circumstances and perspectives which necessarily limit us. His mindpower, strength, and energy is unlimited. Scripture informs us that God is also the personification of love. Which, of course, means that "his" patience, mercy, kindness, compassion, forgiveness is without limits. Indeed, God's morality is built on the principle of love. There is no room for vindictiveness, humiliation, or violence of any kind. This is the God who cannot be contained in our minds or anywhere else!
