Assuming there is a first cause, God
is first cause. The most basic and underlying definition of God is first cause. You can add on to that things like "he" or "He" or "she" or intention or continuation, if you like, but those are not required properties of god. Without first cause, god (as in the creator of everything that we know) is really nothing more than a possibly nonexistent superior being.
If you prefer the concept of no first cause, then we're dealing with infinity. And I'm not sure what is more difficult to conceive of - infinity or nothingness.
