boundless...

I seem to keep coming back to a phrase...a reminder, to not bind a boundless God. I thought about it a lot in December and January while in Peru; at a time when I was lamenting two particular instances where I felt regret and like I had somehow missed something when these two things failed to happen. And in the quiet and the grandness of that beautiful country, this line of thought continued to come through.

I have a limited vision. My field of vision is so narrow and small compared to the Lord's; and I kept hearing that while those were two very good things, they were not the things for me. That I can trust God to do better things than them.

I am feeling this same temptation now. To allow myself to be limited from what I can see, who I know, where I am. And I serve a God who knows no bounds. I am not constrained because he is a God who does infinitely more than I can ask or imagine. So I am not completely sure how to press into this way of heart. But I hear the call to.
