This morning, I was lying in bed and thinking about God and who He is to me and felt inspired to do something I haven't done in a while. Make a list from A-Z with words declaring who He is and His characteristics.
I went to a conference a couple years ago and during one session this is what we did as a group and every once in a while I like to do it on my own. Something happens inside of me when I acknowledge and declare who He is. I find comfort, peace, confidence, strength, joy...
Give it a try some time, especially if you need some extra encouragement. You cannot stay down when you remember and focus on who He is! Then you can share it with me! :)
This is my list from this morning (they never turn out the same). I needed some help with Q and X, but the dictionary is "lost" in a box right now as we finish our homeschool room (aka The Discovery Room). So, they are blank for now. I think I'm going to incorporate this in one of our school activities some time soon.
Update: I added a second list just to see how different they can be, for fun. No, I do not think God and His attributes can fully be described or contained in a list. We are so limited within our language and within our own knowledge. No eye has seen, no ear has heard...
