God does not love us because we are good. God loves us because God is good. (Recently quoted in Fr. Richard Rohr's blog.)
God as ALL: all seeing, all knowing, all present, all good. In the presence of such a Presence, love and good have not-humane definitions. But what kind of God do we have if God fits a limited, human image? Humane, after all, comes from the same root as human.
So it is that I know I swim in a Mystery, as lucid and foggy as this morning when the mist in the air is so thick I can not even see to the end of our lane, cannot see the road before me.
The older I get, the more I know I know nothing of Truth.
