God, You are... Zealous.

 Zealous: "ardently active, devoted,or diligent."


God is active in the world and always has been. He is devoted to His creation including us. He is diligent in making everything work for His glory. The Bible tells us to be like Christ, which means e like God. Because they are the same. Using this word, I am supposed to have zeal in everything that I do. Apathy is not the answer.

God, You are... Yearning.

Yearning: deep longing, especially when accompanied by tenderness or sadness.


God yearns for our hearts and longs to have them completely for Himself. He longs with a sadness because His children forsake Him. But at the same time, He will not relent until He has us. There's a great song that's been stuck in my head for the past few days. It's called You Won't Relent. The words are powerful, and very convicting. God longs to have us and nothing will stop His love from getting us.


You Won't Relent<

God, You are... X.

What looks like our "X" actually means "Christ" in Greek. God is Christ, Christ is God, they both are the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is both of them. There really aren't any words that begin with X besides ones that deal with disease and the color yellow. Odd, huh? So that's why I had to get creative. But anyways, that's the trinity. It's hard to understand because we can't think like that as humans. But when I'm in heaven, it'll suddenly click. And I can't wait to finally understand.

God, You are... Worthy.

Worthy of our worship.
Worthy of our love.
Worthy of our lives.
Worthy of sacrifice.
Worthy of my trust.
Worthy of my adoration.
Worthy of my problems.
Worthy of my soul.
Worthy of my regrets.
Worthy of my praises.
Worthy of creation.
Worthy of my relationships.
Worthy of my longings.
Worthy of my dreams.
Worthy of my heart.
Worthy of me.

God, You are... Vital.

Dictionary.com: "necessary to the existence, continuance, or well-being of something; indispensable; essential"


God is necessary, He is indispensable, and He is essential. Without him there would be no order. Come to think of it, without Him there would be nothing. God is more essential than air, water, blood, coffee, you name it. The essence of God flows through everything. Creation screams His name. If you can't hear it, listen harder. The vitality of God is shown in the way the wind blows, a tree blossoms, a child laughs. There wouldn't be this beautiful life without Him. 


Challenge: Thank God today for Him being in your life and giving you that life. Praise Him because He is essential.

God, You are... Universal.

God is for everyone. There's no one that He didn't send His Son to die for. The Bible says that Jesus died for all. I don't know what you believe, like maybe you think that He only died for the good people. But I say no, that's not true. God is for everyone, no matter what race, class, creed, gender... everyone. Every person of every nation has been bought with the blood of Jesus, they just have to accept Him. And that's all I have to say really.

God, You are... Truth.

I couldn't quite define truth on my own and in words that someone besides myself would understand, so I used my friend dictionary.com. Here's what he has to say:

1.

the true or actual state of a matter.

2.

conformity with fact or reality; verity.

3.

a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like.

4.

the state or character of being true.

5.

actuality or actual existence.

6.

an obvious or accepted fact; truism; platitude.

7.

honesty; integrity; truthfulness.

So, as you can see, truth is indeed a noun. And I like that because God Himself is truth. He is a reality, He is there. I love this about Him because well one, I can believe in Him. And two, it gives me a standard to which I base everything that I believe to be true. I have my view points on abortion, gay marriage, the death penalty, tattoos, etc (I will not develop my stance in these subjects in this post, I'm Just stating a few examples). And my opinions all stem from who God is and what He says about truth. God is truth.John 14:6- Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

God, You are... Stronger.

God, You are stronger than anything I'll ever face. You are stronger than my doubts, my fears, my failures, my will, and my being. You are strong enough to pick me up when I'm down, and push me down when I try to leave you. You are strong enough to pull me away and save me from all my temptations. You are strong enough to give me the faith I need. God, there is nothing that You can't do. You can move the mountains that You made. You can break anything you created. You can create anything out of nothing. You are a mighty God, and I will lean on You and trust You to carry me through my life.

God, You are... Radical.

According to dictionary.com, 'radical' has two definitions.
1. forming a basis or foundation
2. extreme
When this word came to my head, the definition I thought of was the latter. I thought of God as being this extreme, amazing, all powerful being, which He is. But now that I researched it and found something else, I change my mind. Let's talk a bit about the first one. God should be our foundation. We should be building every aspect of our lives on Him. Everything we do and want should both start and end with God and what He has done for us. While He might be extreme and amazing and all that good stuff, He should also be the basis on which we build our life. So God is radical, God is a radical. God should be our radical.

God, You are... Quick.

God is and always has been quick to forgive and forget our sin. He never has to ponder over whether or not He should, He just does. It really encourages me because I know that when I ask forgiveness for something stupid I've done, and I really mean it, it happens instantly. It's not like when you right a check for a big amount and sit there for a few days biting your nails wondering if it's going to clear. God is quick to forgive. He gives it to us instantly. Salvation isn't an application process. There isn't a probation period. It is instant. God is instant. There's no waiting with God.
