The Ephemeral

GOD.  Could there be a more powerful word in the English language?  So small, yet so over powering.  GOD, often associated with greatness, distance and power.  What does this word mean to you?  What picture resonates with you when this simple word is said or read?

When I was a child, God meant a good, powerful creator but distant.  Somewhere up in the clouds.  As a married woman I learned more of God and His son Jesus and my picture changed. God's Word changed my life and its power was amazing when applied to seemingly impossible circumstances. God was now closer but not as close as the air I breathed. Now as a mom, I'm learning God means a constant source of power, relief, rest and manna. He is the air I want to breath.  The friend I want to hear from. The moments that I don't remember God is there can be tense and often depressing.  Yet, as the Holy Spirit reminds, I turn my eye and see my savior, my friend and my door out of this current situation.  Jesus.  G-O-D,  is the most complex, 3 part being in existence.  Yet due to His love for us, His creation, He has made it possible for us to know Him.  We know Him through His son Jesus.  Jesus has saved me from so many things, from going to hell, from living the worldly life, from losing my marriage, from depression, from loneliness, from childlessness, oh the list goes on and on.

It is so awesome to know Jesus.  It is my prayer for all to know Christ and to know how much He loves you.  This is also my prayer for myself, for I know when you truly know the love of God, you can get through anything and the door to His Kingdom is so easily stepped through.
