breaking the hush

My sister wrote me a while back with a question that was posed to her that really made me think, and that I have since begun to ask others. The question is, "Who is God to You?" Of course, to all of us we should call Him Savior and Lord, but what else? For example, to one He could be “Sovereign” or another “Love.”

A month or so ago, I gave Saulo the same question and a few days ago he came to me with excitement and an answer! “Shawn,” he says, “I know what He is to me! He’s my hero!” I thought about it and how appropriate! His “hero.”  Someone he admires and longs to be like – someone who has done great deeds – and of course a saver of lives—THE SAVER of HIS LIFE – his Hero! For Saulo, this is the perfect answer! Whatever someone’s answer may be, I’m sure any of us would be able to relate – but is there a specific adjective or noun that you could give your God that makes Him that much more personal to you?

I challenge you to spend time with Him and discover who He is to you! If you already know, I would like to hear; if you don’t, spend some time with Him, think about it and let me know – I’m curious of how many names of God we can come up with to make our relationships with Him personal. As for me and who He is…I’ll save that for another blog;)

*To a woman whose strength I admire – whose vulnerability is rare but treasured – and friendship is forever! I love and miss you! Happy Birthday Amy Kirk-Dunbar!*

*To the young lady whose words will reach nations and selflessness will prick hearts, who will “go” until the whole world knows! Stay strong! I love and miss you!            Happy Birthday Liliana Drew Blythe Deats*
