“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.” — Nicholas Sparks.

Meaning of codes, a system of words, letters, figures, or other symbols substituted for other words, letters, etc., especially for the purposes of secrecy.

I could not find a count for this word but, I have fallen into a subject larger than I can understand in my lifetime? God is such a mysterious wonder. His beautifully written word holds so many clues… So many souls and scholars have tried to dig deeper to unravel His hidden treasures…

But where do we start? Who among us has the answer?

I do believe there is a mathematical thread that runs through this literary masterpiece we know as the Bible. But what is He trying to teach His children?

In my search, I discovered something called "Gematria Numerology". There is a way to calculate a Gematria value (Hebrew numerology) for a given birth name or any word by an association of each letter to a value from 1 to 400.

It seems that the Hebrew language is far better suited to find "hidden codes" more than most languages due to the language's characteristics. This is probably why most programs only work with the Hebrew alphabet.

I feel I could spend the rest of my life trying to crack my Father's code. But as these images of Numbers, words, and verses began to swirl in my head faster than I could even begin to decipher… I became overwhelmed with the task at hand…

So I stopped, inhaled, and closed my eyes… and found that if I let the Holy Spirit open my heart to His teachings He will unveil what He wants me to know at that perfect moment in time…

But then I began to question. Do we get so bogged down in the dissecting and the research that we forget to just close our eyes and let Him teach us? Are we so impatient that we need immediate answers? Or do we make the choice to just trust Him with that childlike faith?

Don’t get me wrong I believe part of knowing Him is to study all we can. But it is equally important… to NOT allow ourselves to get buried in our books… that we take our eyes off Him… He is our path, our light to discovering who He truly is… Spending time with Him is better than all the books that have ever been written…

To simplify my life …and to quench my thirsty soul’s curiosity… He gave me these numbers “831234”. And because I had no clue what He was trying to say I googled “831234” ….

Do you know it means "I love you today, tomorrow, forever!."

And that is the most important lesson that we can ever decode…

His mystery, His gentle teaching…His love…

Just spend time with Him… let Him speak to your heart and watch your understanding grow…

Yes, He wows me!!

It’s Him, it will always be Him!

He has asked me to now share this with you!!

“831234”

Then the disciples came and asked him, ‘Why do you speak to them in parables?’ He answered, ‘To you, it has been given to know the secrets* of the kingdom of heaven, but to them, it has not been given. For to those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. The reason I speak to them in parables is that “seeing they do not perceive, and hearing they do not listen, nor do they understand.” With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah that says: “You will indeed listen but never understand, and you will indeed look but never perceive. For this people’s heart has grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes: so that they might not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn— and I would heal them.”

But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. Matthew 13:10-16
