Inadequate

How do we describe God?
With human words?
But, how can we use something finite to describe Someone infinite?

We begin by using adjectives like awesome, great, powerful, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, just, loving, gracious, compassionate, merciful, caring, and wise.
But do these words really capture all that God is?

We move on to naming God with words like Creator, Comforter, Healer, Physician, Lamb, Lion of Judah, Rose of Sharon, Lily of the Valley, Morning Star, Friend, Provider, Father, Lover, King, Lord, and Redeemer.
But do these words really capture all that God is?

We continue to struggle to paint God with human words by writing volumes all about Him.
He is our purpose, He is our God of greater glory, He is more than enough, He is our God who will come again, He is our God of redeeming love, He is our God who rescues us from the pit, He is our God who came near.
But do these words really capture all that God is?

We push further on, grasping for a single phrase that might encapsulate God by composing musical scores.
He is the lover of our souls, He is more precious than silver, He offers amazing love, He is a mighty fortress, He is Father, Spirit, Jesus, He is the Word, His faithfulness is great, He is holy, holy, holy.
But do these words really capture all that God is?

Adjectives cannot describe, names cannot label, volumes cannot contain, and musical scores cannot resound with all that God is.
Only He is able to express the magnitude of His personhood.

I AM THAT I AM.
