That is an excellent post! Thank you for bringing my attention to it. I have been thinking a lot about how Israel created a god in their own image and just what that meant... I am coming to believe that they took God and made a recreation of the thought of who He is into something that would fit into their lifestyle, their "box". We have done that in the West, making Him distant, aloof, unaffected - anything but the passionate Lover that he is. God forgive our nation for making a god in our own image. God forgive us for reducing Your uncreated self into a jigsaw puzzle and being arrogant enough to try to "work" the puzzle ourselves and figure out all of Your ways!
I'm passionately in love with Jesus. He overwhelms me. I'm outrageously in love with my husband of 11 years. He stole my heart. I'm giddily in love with my kids. They make me laugh.

Ooh, it was a good one... I even had to comment on it which entailed having to sign up on Zanga, what a pain. ~Karlie
