Childish Question -- Deep Answer

If God were to pass gas, would you blush?

Well the whole premise is ludicrous I know...although I do seem to remember Him walking with men, eating with men, so you never know. I know how base and low a question, but there's a method to this madness.

You know you are comfortable with someone when you feel no compunction to hide, cover, conceal anything. That would include bodily functions. Now it's not to say one goes out of their way to "let one rip" but when one gets past the acquaintance stage into a deep relationship you need not have a mask about yourself. Friends don't need masks, family members don't need masks.

So the question is not so much about God passing gas, but it is about our level of intimacy with Him. Now I don't think if we'd blush it is a bad thing, in any way. It just means we can be excited at the depth of the relationship that we can still look forward to being ushered into.
