I delve into the profound paradox of God's infinite majesty and His intimate nearness. By drawing inspiration from Saint Nicholas Cabasilas, I explore how these seemingly contrasting aspects of God transform our faith and daily lives.

This episode offers a deep dive into understanding God as both a distant, holy omnipotent being and a close, loving companion. Join me as we uncover the mystery of God's nature and how it impacts our relationships, struggles, and joys.

Key Takeaways:

• God's Closeness and Love (00:01:34):
• Discover how God is more affectionate than any friend and more loving than any father – closer to us than our own limbs.
• Embracing the Divine Paradox (00:03:11):
• Learn about the beautiful tension of experiencing God's vastness and intimate presence simultaneously.
• God as the Destination and the Companion (00:04:20):
• Understand how God is both our ultimate goal and our ever-present guide, accompanying us through every step of life’s journey.
• Reflect and Invite God In (00:06:41):
• Take a moment to reflect on where you feel God's nearness and where He feels distant, and learn how a simple acknowledgment can shift your perspective.
