What Does Love Encompass?

So often-- really anytime someone asks what I study--
I am asked how or why I can believe in God.

But I tell you,
God is nearer to me than my right hand.

The reality of God transcends
whatever I may discover about any religion--
religion is so inadequate a tool
in understanding the divine,
yet I see splendor in it still...
there is beauty in the seeking,
whatever form it takes.

Many people, I think,
have God and just don't realize it.
They tell me everyday that God does not exist,
but I think they are just confused on the definition.

Why do we confine God so?
It may be helpful to expand our notion--
what does love encompass?  

Though I may be confused about my own religion,
I am no good without God.
God is nearer to me than my right hand,
will never let me go.
