What it means to say that God is like an overflowing fountain is that, as the water overflows it gives life. God is the creator of all creations and brings the betterness to the world. The over-flowing of the mountain is beneficial and taking. The life-giving sun gives energy and warmth.
A metaphor that I have came up with is " God is wind ".
My metaphor means God is what keeps us alive no matter how strong the wind may be. When I say "no matter how strong it is" this refers to no matter how tough life may be.
The wind describes the air we breath, the need of him, and the freshness to feel fresh from a new start. God is the coil of life; the twists and twirls of our blustery experiences. God is invisible but felt in our hearts and spirits.
My Metaphor does capture the point of him not being seen, the need of him, the gift or being able to start over in ones life, felt through our hearts and spirits or else belief would not exist.
