Liquid Containment

Liquid Containment

So I was at Diedrich tonight with Jared and I was messing with my camera. As we were talking I threw a lid at him and asked "What's this?"

He responded "A lid, Liquid Containment."

That got me thinking about how often we put God in a box. But in this case how often we contain Him in little cups. He will fill the cup up all the way to the top, but still he is bigger than the cup.

Picture a child at the beach filling his bucket with sand and sea water, trying to take the ocean home with him. He may have part of the ocean with him, but in reality he does not have the ocean. Just some sand and salt water.

This is what we do to God. We put him in our buckets and we have elements of him; such as love or justice. What we need to do is set our buckets down and dive in.
