God is Transcendent, Yet Immanent

Earthly paradoxes are Heavenly principles. This is especially true when we see that God is all at once both Transcendent and Immanent. When we focus too much on the nearness of God (Immanence) we can replace intimacy with familiarity. When we focus too much on the vastness of God, we find detachment in place of reverence. When we hold these truths in tension there is a deep sense of awe and wonder that is behind the heart of worship.
