I had a conversation with a good friend a few days ago and we came across our 'favorite' everythings. Favorite food, movie, day, weather, etc. We stumbled across the topic of our favorite bible verse and our favorite word. Surprisingly, our favorite bible verse was easy to say. But our favorite word wasn't. As I laid in my cozy bed with my laptop on my chest, I thought about MY favorite word. As I shifted around in my blanket to adjust my pillow level, it suddenly hit me that so many times people degrade the true meaning and symbolism of words. Like when we say LOVE. Do we REALLY love it?? Or do we say 'love' in place of 'like' but a little more than 'like'? And then I thought, 'Dang, I wish there was a perfect word to describe God'. And I realized it was utterly impossible, because...i mean...how DARE i compare the Lord of the great heavens to....a WORD? It's almost blasphemous. And then I realized that a word that perfectly describes God would be good AND bad. Good, in the sense that I'd be satisfied in knowing it and bad because..it just would be bad.

i think i can describe him in two words, that is "I AM." that statement shows so much power that only God can come up with and profess. whenever i think about "I AM," i got a HUNDRED things going in my head of trying to fill in that blank "i am ______" but then i focus back on how i dont need to fill in that blank because he just IS. what is he? HE IS, THATS WHAT HE IS.
