on not being God

I am feeling very grateful to my friend who has reminded me that what is important is to focus on God and then how to be will hopefully arise from that.
I don't have to be like God. Which is a relief as not only does that feel impossible, but I'm aware we regularly make God in our own image.

Focussing on God feels easier - I'm someone who sees God wherever I look - tho sometimes I forget and it's important to be reminded to keep noticing. For me God's not a bearded old man in the clouds, more of a verb than a singularly occuring noun. So I see God everytime I spot these unexpected flowers. I hear God when I read my friends emails to me or catch laughter or angry shouts in the street. Not that I think God shouts angrily, I just sense that God is there whilst people struggle to get along cos our hurting has us react to one another. Sometimes I can feel that God is with me, or within me.

I don't think there's anywhere where God is not, but that often we don't spot God.
What do you think/feel?
