Jacqui Lewis Instagram – Shouting this from the mountaintops- GOD IS BIGGER THAN OUR BINARIES.
I posted this a few years ago, but I think it’s so important to deconstruct the idea that God fits into tiny, human sized boxes and labels…
How do you see God? Is God a “He” to you? A “She?” Is God Non-Binary?
My God is a curvy black woman with dreadlocks and dark, cocoa-brown skin. She laughs from her belly and is unashamed to cry. She can rock a whole world to sleep, singing in her contralto voice. Her sighs breathe life into humanity. Her heartbreaks cause eruptions of justice and love.
Of course, because God is a mystery, we don’t know everything about Her. So, out of our imaginations and our yearnings, our hopes and our fears, we make stuff up.
At our best, we project goodness, power, kindness, and love onto God. At our worst, we create a God who is punitive, angry, judgmental, and harsh. We do this because we are those things, and we think they make us safe.
What does your God look like? Comment below!
