Ch. 8 - God's Infinitude

As our discipleship group we got caught on this part of the chapter for a few minutes:

"We have only to prepare Him a habitation of love and faith and humility. We have but to want Him badly enough, and He will come and manifest Himself to us."

The discussion was mostly on the second line there about God's manifestations to us being matched with the desire we show Him. I don't think we really came to any strong conclusion but we definitely struggled a bit in coming to terms with what we believe... or know. When does God just show up because He wants to and when does He show up in response to seeing our strong desire to see Him? Is there a balance between the two? That's definitely something I'm still thinking about.

God is limitless, measureless and infinite. He, in fact, is the only 'thing' (person) that can be called limitless because all created things have limits. We have limits, which is very apparent if you look around, but "How completely satisfying to turn from our limitations to a God who has none." Woohoo.
