The Maker's Language

Isn't it crazy to think that we can't really describe or explain God? And that He is so above us that we can't actually communicate with Him in our language? Instead the

Yet He -- God of the universe, Maker of you and me -- has condescended to make Himself known to us in our own language with our own language because He wrote our language.

But all that aside, there really are no human words with which to correctly describe Him. We cannot explain Him or label Him for His very being and existence are far, far above us.

O glorious thought!

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways,

And My thoughts than your thoughts." ~Isaiah 55:9

And what are we left with, then? What language shall we fellow Christians speak to one another? Ah. That is another piece of what sets us apart from the rest of the world. We speak a language that others cannot understand. Because our language is God's. His language is love and peace and joy -- all things that we cannot explain or describe. Our very existence as creatures born again with new spiritual natures is a mystery. Yet He chooses to proclaim Himself to us, to expound mysteries to us, to enfold us in a truth that is hidden from those not His children.

God, teach me to speak Your language.
