What does God look like?

A couple or so years ago I got this 'forward', an email passed on as a 'funny story about a child' -- one of those 'Out of the mouths of babes' kinds!

In a kindergarten, the teacher asks a group of 4-year olds to draw something - anything they wished. After a few minutes the teacher realized that only one little girl hadn't finished. 'What are you drawing, honey?' asked the teacher. 'I'm drawing God,' replied the little girl. 'GOD?' repeated the astonished teacher - 'no one has seen God.' 'The little girl kept drawing as she said, 'In a minute they will.'

I don't know about you, but I was awestruck when I read the little story. I adored the confidence of the little girl, and the profundity of her comment just amazed me. Yes, no one has seen God, so what does God look like to you? How would YOU draw God?

To me, God is the all-pervasive energy, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, that fills, and IS, every cell of mine, just as it is in, and IS, every atom of creation. Its essence is JOY. Its emotion is LOVE. To EXPERIENCE and to KNOW this ENERGY then, is my reason to be here, is what I believe.

Did you understand my drawing of MY god :-)?
