God: far beyond all comprehension

To admit there is one who lies beyond us, who exists outside of all our categories, who will not be dismissed with a name, who will not appear before the bar of our reason, nor submit to our curious inquiries: this requires a great deal of humility, more than most of us possess, so we save face by thinking God down to our level, or at least down to where we can manage Him. Yet how He eludes us! For He is everywhere while He is nowhere, for "where" has to do with matter and space, and God is independent of both. He is unaffected by time or motion, is wholly self-dependent and owes nothing to the worlds His hands have made.
-A.W Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy, pp.26-27

  2. Whenever a child does not understand something we 'try' to go down to their level to open up their understanding.To know that God can come down to my level is so comforting and "Way Too Wonderful";I cannot attain it.
    Psalm 139:6(and)Job 42:3
