Definitions are not quite definitive

     God is the mindful, loving awareness of receptive remembering, and whoever lives in this lives in God, and God lives in him.

     I’m reposting, passing on at least two people’s ideas, in this instance regarding a definition of God.  It’s a very intriguing one to me, too, obviously.  Lord, many of us think of You as our Creator and some even spend considerable energy and thought trying to capture you, ergo definitions and descriptions.  Our aim is to understand and relate to, if not manipulate, You.  We are wondrously made, but I confess that when it comes to You, we are wondrously weak-minded.  Quicken our awareness of Your presence, and that, as we sing in the old hymn, “I need Thee every hour.”  IJN
