Immanuel
2 Timothy 2 :11-13 NIV
11 Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
12 if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
13 if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.
Wow! Our God truly is an awesome God! I am one who talks a lot and yet when it comes to describing the essence, depth and expression of God's love, ways and truth in my life; I am left completely speechless! there are just not enough words or not the right words to describe GOD! my soul cries out, " I WANT ANOTHER WORD BESIDES AWESOME!" lol
But then i am humbled and realise there need not be another word, song, image or whatever to describe our God, his ways and impact on our lives...He is an indescribable God and we cannot define him with our human terms or forms because he is GOD! he is SUPREME!
I have always thought and believed that God cannot be 'boxed' up; we cannot lable him and say that this is all that he is...i love reading the old testament because just as the israelites think they have figured out God, he then suprises them with a new character and they are overwhelmed and think "whoa! God?"
i love him! as i walk with him everyday, i get to know him more and always something new...technically God is as old as the earth because thats when he first revealed himself and he began a relationship with humans starting with Adam...and yet, what, like, how old is earth? 4.5 billion years old later, we are still getting to know him and discovering new things everyday....for me that is INCREDIBLE!
he is unlike any other love relationship i have ever had or will ever have...you can pretty much predict your spouse or partner or families behaviour in every situation because you know them...but God is only one whom you can confidently say with a smile, I AM GETTING TO KNOW HIM! you know him through the bible, his word and truth as well as the gracious revelation of the Holy Spirit(God in Us) and yet we are still knowing him every day!
And for someone as curious and inquisitive as i am., this fact about GOD is what makes him most attractive to me...there is more to know and there is more he wants to show us. "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived"%u2014 the things God has prepared for those who love him"%u20141 Corinthians 2:9 NIV
i wake up everyday bathe in his glory and love...i wake up everyday with a renewd strength to face the world and i wake up everyday in the armour of God to fight the battle against my spiritual enemies!(Ephesians 6:11)
the first verse i ever rememembered as a child was John 14:6
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will knowt my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
and i remember i would repeat the verse over and over again in my head, not knowing at that young age that this verse is real and powerful and that 18 years later i would be living this verse everyday...And i am so grateful i surrendered and submitted and believed this verse because its the truth and its so real AND ITS ALIVE!
Brothers and Sisters reading this, just as the apostle paul continued to urge his brothers and sisters, so i urge you,
Get to know the power that lives inside of you! HE is Emmanuel and HE is with US! Just imagine, God living with you, doing life with you, GOD WITH YOU ALWAYS...well you dont have to imagine....Matthew 1:23 NIV
"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us").
We are never Alone...Because GOD is With US. With ME. With YOU
To God be the glory!
