There is something creative about getting to know God: to recognize the infinite attributes of God and to express that ineffability in testimony and story, art and song.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, one person\u2019s vision of God becomes codified, set in stone as the truth for all people. It may be a beautiful, profound view of God, one that answers the yearning of the time. But God is greater than even the most perceptive one\u2019s capacity to behold, much less fully communicate. Man’s best description of God is still a description of man, not of God.<\/p>\n
And so I am glad that we haven\u2019t been told as much about our Heavenly Mother as our Heavenly Father. (Honestly, I expect we know much less about Him than we assume we know, and that assumption, sadly, may hinder some from deeper seeking.) We are not limited in seeking Her, the feminine divine, by constraints set out by the visions of men. She is the dark side of the moon, the substantial half of God as yet hidden from the searchlight of institutional revelation and the strictures of correlated curriculum.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t tell me who my Mother in Heaven is. Let me seek Her for myself. And one day, I\u2019ll tell you what I have discovered about Her, and you will share with me what has been revealed to you, and neither of us will know Her completely, but we will both know ourselves better for the way in which we know Her. We will love each other better for loving Her. And with our Father and our Mother we will rejoice when we are reunited with our one complete God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
