I Stand In Awe Of You

In our relationships with one another we tend to be less in awe with someone, the more we know them, the more we know about them, the more we know what they know.

When you are young, you are in awe of a certain athelete, but as you grow in age and in talent, you can still be impressed with them...but the more you grow to be able to do what they do...the smaller the gaps grows between you...and the less awe is felt.

The total opposite is true with God.

God is infinite...He has no boundaries...there are no limits to His power, knowledge wisdom...

The closer we grow to God, the more in awe we become.

I heard of a story about a mountain climber that explains this truth well.

A man began to climb the steep rocky mountain. He saw the the mountain's top was well hidden in the clouds. After a hard climb he noticed that he was half way there, and his heart was filled with pride and accomplishment. After many days of climbing he finally broke through the cloud covering...and there all his pride was shattered. As he peer above the clouds he saw that the mountain had a thousand more faces, each as high as the one he just climbed...and then after that highest face...it too disappeared into the clouds...
