Sometimes it seems to me like these two titles of God are almost.....not fitting to go together.
Last night I got a huge massive revelation of God.
I was thinking what if God was only one and not the other?
I need GOD, the one who is above all and who has no equal, yet loves ME and my tiny heart. I need You to be all that You are. YAHWEH, and my lover. Are they the same person? If they're not then I will die.
Do you care about the desires of my heart? Do you care about the my longings and what happened and what is happening in my tiny life? Are you the one in charge of all that? Are you the one doing it all and working things together and orchestrating things and leading me? Do you care about my heart? Do you understand me? Do you know why I cry and why I get excited and happy?
If you do, then are you also the One I read about in the Old Testament, the one who has created all things, who is above all, who has set boundaries for the sea, who is such a mystery and does not show your face to men your creation?
If you were only that, only YAHWEH the mystery, the Holy One altogether set apart, then I could never know you and would never know love.
If you were only my intimate heart-friend and lover, then I would be lost and afraid in this huge world and in life with no answers and nothing to hold onto. YOU MUST BE BOTH OR I WILL DIE!
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’" Acts 17:24-28
"The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy." Colossians 1:15-18
"Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?" John 14:9, 10
"You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain." Psalm 139:1-6
