God is Secret

Vilhelm Hammershøi, Sunbeams or Sunshine. Dust Motes Dancing in the Sunbeams.

“It would be wonderful to know

everything about God –

to discover where he is and what he looks like.

We want to know everything immediately!

But God remains secret for now.

God has his own time.

But that doesn’t matter,

because we have our whole lives

to come closer to this great secret.”

– From Images of God for young children, by Marie-Hélène Delval.
