"In The Chronicles of Narnia, an allegory by C.S. Lewis, the author has two girls, Susan and Lucy, getting ready to meet Aslan the lion, who represents Christ. Two talking animals, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, prepare the children for the encounter. "Ooh," said Susan, "I though he was a man. Is he quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion." "That you will, dearie." said Mrs. Beaver. "And make no mistake, if there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knee's knocking, they're either braver than most or else just silly."
"Then isn't he safe?" said Lucy. "Safe?" said Mr. Beaver. "Don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? Of course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the king, I tell you!""

GOD is not safe...yet he is good.
As CHRISTians we need to realize that GOD is not this.
When we start to make GOD out as safe,
we start to box him up and not let him take over all
instead of the "GOD-box" i've mentioned before.
let GOD be unsafe,
let him mess things up in your life,
let changes occur, not of your own, but of GOD.
keeping GOD unsafe,
