Samuel and I have had some fun time together this morning because Esther is taking an early nap. We were listening to some music and one song was said that God will never leave us. Samuel and I were talking about it. His response for why God will never leave us is that He is invincible. I wonder if in some part of his mind Samuel thinks God is a superhero.
So many people see God as a kindly grandfather who says, "It's okay, don't worry about that sin. I've taken care of it. You don't owe me anything." While that's a nice and true enough, one doesn't think that their grandfather is invincible. I tried to explain to Samuel that God is more than invincible. How do you explain to a 4 year old that God has more facets to him than just one? I want him to have a dynamic faith that includes a full picture of God, not just a small box that feels comfortable.
