The God who is is the God I always needed but not the God I wanted. He is always crawling out of the box I put him in and not doing the things I demand of Him. He leads me into suffering, gives me passions that upset normalcy, motivates me to make sacrifices that are unreasonable and in general never lets me be. To be near Him I have to put on my crash helmet and my seat belt. And not a few times my stomach has been up in my throat. What a thrill!
