In Who's Image?

God created us in His image and likeness, and we returned the compliment. ~ Voltaire

Do we limit God to the bounds
of our imagination?
When J. B. Phillips
wrote Your God is too Small”he wrote of a  resident policeman,
a grand old man, a parental hangover.
a managing director…
even a god-in-a-box like a toy…
all concepts made in our image.
In two and a half centuries
since Voltaire have we proved him wrong?
What do we hear when we speak the words,
God as we understand God?
It’s our understanding that’s necessary
but is our understanding limited
so that our own God is too small?
Try writing a job description
for the God of your understanding.
What’s a candidate like
who you would hire?
Are you returning the compliment?
