First Words

During most of the two weeks of my coma time, I meditated on one simple notion: God. For the first time, I had to lay motionless in a bed, unable to do anything but focus upon the Maker of all that is. I had studied about God for years as a pastor, but I had been so easily distracted for most of that time.

Now that I had awakened from the coma, I was being asked to say something—anything to give my family and doctors an indication that I was alive and well. All that I could say was the adjective that came into my mind that best described God at that moment. He is, uh, BIG! I said to the small group gathered around my bed, “Big, big, big, big.”

The doctor didn’t look very encouraged. My voice was raspy from the dryness of the medical equipment. It must have made for a sorry sound. The doctor leaned over to my wife to whisper something in her ear, something akin to, “This may be a long process. He may have lost more than we thought.” She didn’t look all that encouraged. And she wasn’t smiling.

She was with the doctor as they leaned toward me. The repetitions of “big” hadn’t gone over well with them. “Big what, Steve? What are you talking about when you say ‘Big’?”

“God. Big God. Big God.”

With that, I teared up. I was able to express my heart at last. I wanted to share the discovery of my two-week search after God. There it was. Just two words.

Ironically, as a pastor, I had previously given hundreds of messages focused on helping people find the reality of God’s nature. Now I had come to the simplicity of who God is—His power, His presence—and it all came down to just two words. But those two words meant: He is many things, but above all else, perhaps God is BIG. God is Big, big, big. I couldn’t believe the utter simplicity, compactness, and (at the same time) awesomeness of God in that statement. “Big God.” That’s who He is above all else.
