How completely satisfying to turn from our limitations to a God who has none. – AW Tozer
“Infinite”
“God’s infinitude belongs to us and is made known to us for our everlasting profit. Yet, just what does it mean to us beyond the mere wonder of thinking about it? Much every day, and more as come to know ourselves and God better.
Because God’s nature is infinite, everything that flows from it is infinite also. We poor human creatures are constantly being frustrated by limitations imposed upon us from without and within. The days of the years of our lives are free, and swifter that a weaver's shuttle. Life is a short and fevered rehearsal for a concert we cannot stay to give. Just when we appear to have attained some proficiency we are forced to lay our instruments down. There is simply not enough time to think, to become, to perform what the constitution of our natures indicates we are capable of.
How completely satisfying to turn from our limitations to a God who has none. Eternal years lie in His heart. For Him time does not pass, it remains; and those who are in Christ share with him all the riches of limitless time and years.
In God there is life enough for all and time enough to enjoy it. Whatever is possessed of natural life runs throughs its cycle from birth to death and ceases to be, but the life of God returns upon itself and ceases never. And this is life eternal: to know the inly true God, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.
The mercy of God is infinite too, and the man who has felt the grinding pain of inward guilt knows that this is more than academic. “Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” Abounding sin is the terror of the world, but abounding grace is the hope of mankind. However sin may abound it still has it limits, for it is the product of finite minds and hearts, but God’s “much more” introduces us to infinitude. Against our deep creature-sickness stands God’s infinite ability to cure…
His love is measureless. It is more: it is boundless. It has no bounds because it is not a thing but a facet of the essential nature of God. His love is something He is, and because He is infinite that love can enfold the whole created world in itself and have room for ten thousand by ten thousand worlds besides.”
