Beyond the beauty of external forms, there is more here: something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner, holy essence. Whenever and wherever there is beauty, this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present. Eckhart Tolle

The meaning of ineffable: is too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.

How do we describe the indescribable? How do we share someone that is so deep so powerful yet so vulnerable? 

When we speak of God we see His greatness, His power, His love... But have we ever stopped to think of Him being vulnerable? 

I believe that most people would not use the word vulnerable in the same sentence with the word God... Unless we are speaking of self.. 

However, I feel to love fully without judgment, without boundaries without self. One must open their vulnerable heart to feel without restraint. 

So is it possible for God to love us with the greatest love that has ever existed without being vulnerable to the ones He loves the most? 

This vulnerability in Him must allow Him to grieve beyond our understanding. Especially when His children turn away, or just simply do not take the time to love Him... How does He love us with such passion? 

His love is indescribable. It truly defies human understanding.  

He is as close as a whisper in the wind. But yet He seems to stand just barely out of reach... He can not be touched... He can only be felt within the longing of my heart and my vulnerable soul.

I stand in awe of His beauty, His grace, and His amazing soul wows me. 

I can only humbly ask Him to share His vulnerable soul with me. 

He is the meaning of ineffable.

He is the Alpha, where my heart begins, and the Omega where my heart ends...  

It's Him... It will always be Him. ❤

2 Corinthians 9:15 CPDV

Thanks be to God for his ineffable gift.  (of Him)

You walked among us so long ago... How is it that you have left your fingerprints on my Heart. The beauty of that moment is, I can recall it like it was yesterday (LG)  

The word recall means to bring a fact back into our mind that we have learned.  It is used 39 times in the Bible.

I celebrate the amazing mind that we have been given.  Often I will recall a song or verse that I have not heard in a long time and it will speak to my heart. 

Do some of you recall the love letters written to you with pen and ink?  You would find one in your mailbox and you would hurry inside to a safe place to read it in private.  You would quickly tear it open and even as you read ‘Dear..............’ your heart would begin to beat a little faster.  You might read it so many times you had it memorized. 

We have a greater Love Letter, the Bible, written to us.  Most people have at least one copy written in ink and many have it encased inside a slim phone that can be opened anytime you want.  

My question is:  Are we in love with the author who wrote this Love Letter to us?  

Do we meditate on it day and night?  Do we hide it in our hearts?  Do we have it so close that if our children have a question we can tell them what the Writer of this Love Letter says?  

In Joshua 1:8, Joshua was told to meditate upon the Word day and night.  There were few copies of the first five books of the Bible written 3000 years ago. He repeated these words over and over to himself so they became a part of him.  

Memorizing Scripture is a wonderful gift to give to God.  I had a pastor that memorized The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7.  There are 111 verses in this passage.  He would often be asked to repeat this from memory.  When he was over 100 years old he was still able to stand and recite all 111 verses.  What a sermon that was!!!

Now, what about us?  I must admit I don’t have that many of His words hidden in my heart.  But I would like more because it is a joy to remember them as I talk with Him.  Words from Him and words from His Love Letter to us.  The freshness at our recall washes over us as we feel Him in our spirit.  He loves to hear His words from us. 

Let’s memorize the following word as a gift to Him today. 

“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength:  this is the first commandment.”  Mark 12:30

If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.- John 8:31-32 

Meaning of truth, a fact or belief that is accepted as true. plural noun: truths

The word truth appears only 24 times in the Bible however in my opinion it appears many more times. It is subtle and eye wink when we realize how and or why!   

The truth is a very important factual statement. Personally, I know only one human who perhaps always told the truth. We learn this little sin as children. How many of us as children have lied to our parents? How many of us have crafted a story to stay out of trouble?  The opposite of truth is a false statement we know this action as a lie... I do believe most lies carry a heavy burden of guilt, sorrow, fear, depression... all negative wounds that can erode peace and lead your soul to the darkness of despair. A place of bondage. 

But when we say, hear and see the truth, we are set free, the burden is lifted and we find we no longer need to hide or skirt the issue. We begin to breathe, and our soul begins to heal. Be warned 

Our soul may be freed from this bondage but there is always a human price for our actions.

As I flipped through the pages of the Bible, I could hear in my subconscious mind. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you, God? This is a sworn Oath that varies by country. It is an affirmation and a promise.  In the US we place our hand on the Bible and raise our hands. And end our statement with God.

God is present... most people serve and believe there is a higher spiritual leader. I personally know Him as God my Father... The maker of all things. He is loving, kind, and possesses the power to rule all the universe. He is pure noble and stands on His word. Before humans clouded the picture with contracts and such legal rhetoric a person's word had value.  It was a solid promise that you could take to the bank. 

If we consider this a Bible study, Let’s look at (John 1:1) 

In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The word hmm ... Jesus also says John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Another hmmm…

Both significant! Both are truths. no one has been successful in disputing these facts. Both point us to God the Father and His word. It’s His oath, His promise His truth to His children. I envision Him taking the oath. Where did He place His hand???  It must be on His heart. Because love has always been the driving force of His mission... 

It’s Him. It’s always been Him and His amazing Love! He will have the last word and that is a truth, and that we can take to the bank!! 

Christ Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32)

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
