At a certain level of consiousness people need to think of God as some external force, like children need a mother to look after them. When they grow beyond that their need for 'God' changes, so the way of thinking does too.
If you are lucky your mother once held you and protected you and when you grew she became a friend you could turn too and share with.
So it is with God, he is what we need him to be. As we grow, so does he.
