Description

If I were to write a description of my relationship with God, I hardly know where to begin. If you never seen the majesty and beauty of the Grand Canyon it’s really hard to put into words after seeing it with my own eyes. I grew up going to church and living by the moral code described in the Bible. I heard Sunday School story after story about Jesus. I can clearly remember a moment in my life while a freshman at Johnson Bible College (now Johnson University) that changed everything. As I try to describe that moment, it is hard to put into words what went down. I was simply watching a passion play put by the junior class for the senior class (a prom of sorts) and I saw the crucifixion of Christ in a different way than ever before. I realized His love for me. I realized that no matter what others thought of Jesus, I believed Him to be the Son of Creator God. I wept and I surrendered my life to Him that night. I had been baptized and I’d been wearing the name Christian, but that night my faith became my own. I still can’t adequately describe that moment. I feel like King David had a moment like that.

When I reflect on my journey with the Lord, I can’t begin to get my head around the right words to describe Him. His Patience is long and His Grace is ridiculously relentless. His Love can’t possibly be measured. I can do the dumbest thing in the world and His Grace rescues me. I deserve death, yet I receive life. I don’t deserve anything from Him – His Mercy is such a gift.

I give up trying to describe Him. I will simply worship Him out of deep gratitude for His Love, His Mercy, His Kindness, His Grace, His Word, His Life…. I can’t possibly adequately describe the Lord but I won’t stop trying with my life!
