God understands

They say that God is a mystery

a transcendent being

who is way to big

to be embraced or understood

the other

But God is also immanent

so close

so personal

that God dwells within

each one of us

perhaps only in 

the tiniest corner of the heart

but God is there

and being there

God knows us

so much better than we even know ourselves

God may be a mystery to us

we be are no mystery

instead we are understood

each hurt, each fear

each heartache, each moment of loneliness

is God's as well as ours

yes God understands

not just our joy by our pain

not just out moments of love and compassion

but our moments of anger

 

God understands when we are saints

and when we are sinners

and understanding

loves and forgives

 

and if we will allow

heals
