A mile in God's shoes

At times I wonder how God feels, and how it feels like being God. I know it’s an overwhelming feeling, but at times I tend to want to experience just a little bit of it.

 

Like, how does it feel like to know EVERYTHING? To know more than everyone in the world combined? To know what was, is and is to come? How does it feel like to know what people have discovered before they have even discovered it? Is it weird to know the end of a thing before it even begins? Is it strange to know how humans feel without being human? Is it mind-boggling to know humans even more than they know themselves, yet not be able to open their eyes to the total truth?

 

Or, how does it feel to be EVERYWHERE? To be both in heaven and on earth (or even in Hell)? To see everywhere at the same time? Is it confusing to be at a wedding and a funeral at the same time? Is it strange to be in the hottest and coldest deserts at the same time? Does it feel weird to be in all the time zones at the same time? Or in the quietest and noisiest places in the same moment?

 

Is it overwhelming to live outside time? Do you ever feel pressed for time? Does it feel annoying when humans subject you to time? How does it feel when a thousand days are like a day, and a day like a thousand? How does it feel not to worry about being too late or too early, too much traffic, nightfall, day break, not enough sleep? How is it living outside something you created?

 

Truly, I don’t know if I’ll be able to get such experiences (maybe after I get to Heaven), or even ask God such questions. But every so often, these thoughts cross my mind. Maybe, just maybe, somewhere between now and forever God will give me the opportunity to experience it. But between now and then, they remain just that – a deep desire.
