That means no experience, emotion, or idea can fully contain Him.

How do small moments with the Creator build trust, awe, and love?
A child does not build a close relationship with a parent by understanding the parent's entire mind.
The child grows closer by experiencing thousands of moments of care, guidance, conversation, and joy.
The same is true with the Creator.
We notice the wisdom in creation, the gift of life, the meaning in our choices, the goodness we receive, and the opportunities to reveal more goodness.

Over time, those moments build trust.
Trust deepens awe.
Awe deepens love.
Life becomes an ongoing conversation with the Creator.

If a child rarely experiences joy, safety, or genuine connection with a parent, distance naturally develops.
The parent may still love the child, but the relationship is difficult for the child to feel.
In a similar way, if we believe the Creator is cruel, arbitrary, or uninterested in our good, or if our adaptive trauma patterns keep us in survival mode like people pleasing, we may emotionally distance ourselves from Him even while believing He exists.

"The Infinite Creator cannot fit inside creation, yet every moment of creation depends completely on Him."

Update: As awe, trust, and love deepen, they can allow greater openness and intimacy with the Creator. That intimacy can include sadness when you notice how much more of His goodness can be revealed.
