I experience religious dread whenever I find myself thinking that I know the limits of God's grace, since I am utterly certain it exceeds any imagination a human being might have of it. God does, after all, so love the world.
In her book "When I Was a Child I Read Books," Marilynne Robinson expresses a deep sense of reverence and dread when contemplating the vastness of God's grace. She feels a profound unease at the idea of trying to define or box in the extent of this divine grace, as it is far beyond human comprehension. Robinson emphasizes the boundless nature of God's love for the world.
This reflection highlights the limitations of human understanding in the face of divine mysteries. Robinson's words remind us that God's grace is limitless and surpasses our imagination, encouraging a humble recognition of our own boundaries in grappling with such profound spiritual truths.
