"God" is not a subject.
I heard a nun once say, "When I was with my family one time, we were talking about God, and my godfather said, 'Is God the only subject we can talk about here?' So I looked at him and said, 'God is not a subject, He's a person!'"
I think the nun has a point. But I would like to take that point further.
God is indeed a person, but He is more than that because He is God. He is the Creator of the universe, the Alpha and the Omega, the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-merciful, loving God whose very presence permeates our entire world.
The nun's godfather didn't just miss the point about God being a person, but he missed the point that we cannot compartmentalize God into a "subject" because our entire existence is dependent on Him, our entire experience is affected by Him, and everything in this universe points towards Him.
God is, in fact, the only "subject" that really matters.

Amen sista. Compartmentalizing is a huge thing to fight against.
