My God Cannot Be Contained in a Religious Container!

Why? Because He told me that He is uncontainable.

I have a question that maybe you can help me with. Why do we spend tireless hours defining what God cannot do and what we cannot do as Christians? We spend more time defining the boundaries of where we would like to see God move in our lives than we do just pursuing Him and asking Him to define who He is and not what He can’t do.

My God is an uncontainable God who is not a figment of my imagination, feel good philosophy, or a fairy tale hero. He is and always will be a person who is crazy about you and me.

My God is my Savior, friend, lover, and King who wants to fill your hearts with His fullness and to sink you into His garden of love never to fear again whether or not you are worthy of love.

As a matter of fact He wants you to become uncontainable too. He desires that you would know His love and walk in His power so that the world can experience my uncontainable God.

If you are fearful that in your pursuit of Him you might become deceived and be carried away on winds of false doctrine rest assured that my uncontainable God will keep you from error as you press into His presence and personality. (I will stake my life on it.) It is in those moments that we take our eyes off of Him that we begin to sink (Ask Peter.)

In the days to come you are going to be told and you will hear that Christianity is dead or on its last breath. For many it will seem that way, but if you are one who will draw close to the flame of His presence you will not lose heart and you will know that Jesus Christ is alive and well.

Forever ruined by His love,

Jim & Christie Wilbur
