A Supernatural being, - what is he like, what will he do?

Always, always, no beginning,
there you were before all time,
no far stars and no high mountains:
awesome, certain your design –
long before all else existing
you alone could start creating.

He’s different, superior, beyond comprehension.
No way to describe him, his essence explain.
True, holy, just, perfect, pure, happy, and able:
this Source-of-all-else, who’ll unconquered remain.

He is, alone, profound, divine,
but companionship within his Being
(mystery immense, sublime):
plural personalities combine,
giving full and rich contentment,
infinite, unique, transcendent,
sharing, and consulting, loving.

Unspotted splendour, brilliant Light,
scorching purity, dazzlingly bright.

What would he do,
what plans, decrees would he pursue?
What actions would befit,
his stature?
What occupation would
he choose, permit,
commit
himself to do?

He formed a scheme to use his skill,
a plan appropriate to fulfil.

Hi Rhiannon

I have now moved into a different category with your writing. You certainly do a good job in describing God in this one. The trouble is that a lot of people think that actions speak louder than words, and blame God for things that go wrong.

Hi, Jean. Thanks for the read and comment.I think if you choose to follow these through - they were the first series I put on ABC tales when I read about the site - it is an attempt to follow through what actually happened, as a 'isn't this how such an almighty Being would act', and showing his making man and woman to look after the earth, and how he reacts to their rebellion, and open a way back into fellowship and new life for them.

If he'd left everything perfect for them when they were wanting to go their own way, and had become sinful, they would have become complacent in their sin, not realising their dangers and their loss of his fellowship, and he would be ignoring justice and redemption I would think. ie he had to remove some of his care over them and the world (which is usually referred to as the curse of Genesis 3), but even then is promising a Saviour and salvation

… It does seem illogical to blame God on one hand, but on the other claim he isn't there anyway, and not be willing to ask him, read (properly) his messages in the Bible, or 'pray to him ('If you are there, will you please help me understand?) … (and can you help me in this trouble, please?)
