Exaggeration...

So im sitting at my kitchen table, chowin down on a bowl of Cheerios, reading an article that my friend Bruce James gave me. The article is "Dont Forget The Basics: Remembering God's Goodness When Faith Is Difficult", and I have to say, its pretty stinkin awesome. As im reading through it, its talking about what we have to remind ourselves of everyday in order to keep our faith in check (because we all know that there are an infinite number of distractions just waiting to remove our focus from God), i spotted something that was very freeing...

"Many Spirit-filled authors have exhausted the thesaurus in order to describe God with the glory He deserves. His perfect holiness, by definintion, assures us that our words can't contain Him. Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?"

Isn't it!? A God that no matter how well we try to dress up and present beautifully to others, exceeds our words ten-fold?

I cannot fathom the glory of God, yet I know Him as though he is my own Father.

Freeing.

Much Love,
Weiss
