We tend to see only what is in front of our eyes as reality. It's often difficult for humans to understand other people well because each person's unique experiences create their own boxes of reality. Because this, the tint through which we view the world, is the same shading with which we tend to see God.
The Lord God (YHWH), however, is the God of all things whether we can comprehend it or not. 1 John 1:5 says "...God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in Him." What I love about this image is that light is made up of every shade and color: Even the ones we can't see. Our God, who is the essence of all shading and operates in and through every one, is infinitely more than we see. We view Him in the shades of our own personal boxes, but He can be so much more if we let Him.
Ask God to show you His presence in a new shade this weekend, and be prepared to be amazed!
