I’ve been contemplating that title for weeks now and still cannot take it in. Unbeginning End.

He is so much bigger than our finite minds can imagine.

I’ve been focusing on the character of God the past few months and the above mentioned title keeps arresting my thoughts. He is so much bigger than our finite minds can imagine–but try to focus on just one of God’s character traits, the Unbeginning End. A hymn writer–can you tell I enjoy old hymns?–expressed these words that I can’t fully comprehend, but also cannot forget:

Thou hast no youth, great God,

An Unbeginning End Thou art;

Thy glory in itself abode,

And still abides in its own tranquil heart:

No age can heap its outward years on Thee

Dear God! Thou art Thyself Thine own eternity.

Frederick W. Faber (1814-1863)

There is so much to God that we don’t understand.

There is God. He has no beginning and no end. He is His own eternity. Wow.  There is so much to God that we don’t understand, our finite minds just cannot comprehend. I suggest you focus on that one phrase. And know you can trust the God who is:  The Unbeginning End.
