Words fail me...

It is that time of year again when all the students return to their homelands for the Easter holidays and I am no different.

Returning home is always a time of mixed emotions as it feels like you leave your new life to return to the life you left behind (not always in a negative way though). Returning to my home church is particularly interesting; the less frequently I return the more I notice the changes. The changes in faces and the changes in style. Needless to say that the first meeting back I'm always a little apprehensive, mostly about how it is going to be and what has changed.

This Sunday was a great meeting, with a fantastic worship that really brought home to me the inadequacy of the English Language-bizarre thing to think right? Bear with me on this, it's going to make sense...Granted it isn't the most obvious or perhaps the most common thing to think when worshipping and praising an Almighty God, but it is true.

When I think about how amazing God is and how incredible He is, words fail me. When I worship Him and try to describe Him, words fail me. When I think about what He's done, words fail me. That's when I'm grateful for the gift of Tongues. Even then I feel like I am barely touching the surface of the praise that God deserves.

He is indescribable.

I was overwhelmed with the lack of words that can describe Him, I wish I could speak more about His character and His amazing qualities but I can't. There aren't words. Nothing comes close. I just have to laugh at the inadequacy and inaccuracy of the English language and for that matter all languages.

For even the most passionate and ardent words are not enough.

He means more to me than words can say. He is greater, higher, and better than any words can describe. He is more loving than words. Words don't do it.

The thing is until you've experienced His love, His beauty and His incredible nature aren't comprehensible. I can try earnestly to draw you in and describe Him, but it doesn't say much.

I could use the most eloquent of words and yet it wouldn't bring Him enough praise or glory. As I write this there is a big smile on my face, but even that doesn't say it.

My words are but a drop in the sea compared to how awesome a God is He.
