Godwords: Getting to Know God in 5 Words a Day

Spiritual resource to share: the height, depth and width of God


Did you ever think that the boundaries of your life are created by what you know and understand of God?

Think of it this way - your understanding of God is the canvas on which your life is painted. The more resilient and broad your understanding of God is, the more your life experiences reflect that breadth and resilience.

"We know no more of man as the true divine image and likeness, than we know of God." writes MBEddy. So, reasoning as such, what we know of God is paramount to how we live our lives!

Let's accept that God is Principle, Life, Truth, Soul, Love, Mind and Spirit. So what does that mean? What does knowing that God is Principle - lawgiver, source of order, foundation - mean? When we understand God as Love - harmony, tenderness, selflessness, purity, all-inclusive - it adds another dimension to see that the Principle of Love is a law and is our very foundation.

When we see that the Principle of Love is the foundation for ourselves, we can see that it is the same foundation for all. Why? Because the principle of Love is all-inclusive. What a healing framework this supplies for working out issues of conflict or dis-ease! And what an infinite task to know and understand infinite Soul, forever Truth and omnipotent Love.

"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" writes Paul in his letter to the Romans.

I have been doing this for such a long time I can't even remember when I started: that is to start my day with about five synonyms for God. Join me! Take time to consider the infinite reach of God and God's insightful and pure tenderness. Listen. What five words describe God for you today? To increase our understanding of God helps to reveal the day's regular supply of blessings. Our God-words take us Godward!
