Your God Is a Projection — Until You See Jesus
Colossians 1:15
Your God Is a Projection — Until You See Jesus
The one shaped by my wounds. The one shaped by my culture.
Show me who You actually are. Amen.
"He is the image of the invisible God."
Colossians 1:15
The Greek word is eikon — exact representation. Not a symbol. Not an approximation. If you want to know what God looks like — look at Jesus. The way He treated the woman caught in sin. The way He wept at Lazarus' tomb. The way He prayed for people who were crucifying Him. That is God.
Wherever your picture of God doesn't match Jesus — that's where projection has replaced revelation. And that's where healing needs to happen.
"If your view of God doesn't look like Jesus — it's not God. It's projection. And you've been praying to a picture you painted."
Find one fear- or shame-based belief you hold about God. Find a passage where Jesus directly contradicts it. Write it down. Speak it out loud.
Let me see God as You reveal Him — completely and correctly. Amen.
