This is an aspect of God I find both reassuring (because I will never come to the end of Him) and depressing (I will never know Him "well enough"). It is the task which can never be completed which daunts the heart, yet at the same time completed tasks are in the past and can never be done again, authors fully explored must give way to new ideas by new people - thank God that never happens with Him!
I am always amazed at the variety and difference of God. I was amazed when I first realized this, and I am amazed all over again each time I think about it. God is as different to every one of us as we are from each other. True justice but no sameness, to treat every single person as an individual, taking us all on a case-by-case basis with no "one size fits all", no precedents, no rules and no exceptions. He gives to us each as we need and demands of us as we are gifted and enabled (not necessarily in that order). His is the ultimate respect for the individual, with no illusion that we are all created equal! Love so amazing, so divine, so perfectly tailored and yet so demanding - no comparisons are possible!
