Describe Your Best Friend in One Word…

...My God--in just one word? Impossible.

My best friend is God; though I think by now you already knew that. He sits on the throne of my heart, forever and ever. But if I had to describe Him in one word, I simply couldn’t. There isn’t a single word in any language that could fully capture who He is. So, I will do my best with the words we have though even then, I know, they will never be enough:

• God is beautiful, for all creation reflects His glory:

“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” -Psalm 27:4

• God is loving, for His love is beyond measure:

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” -Psalm 103:8

• God is caring, for He watches over His children:

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” -Peter 5:7

• God is merciful, for He forgives and redeems:

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” -Lamentations 3:22-23

• God is heroic, for He saves us from sin and death:

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” -Psalm 18:2

• God is forgiving, offering grace beyond human understanding:

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” -John 1:9

• God is patient, always giving us time to return to Him:

“The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” -Peter 3:9

• God is kind, showing endless compassion:

“The Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His works.” -Psalm 145:17

• God is always there, never leaving our side.

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” -Hebrews 13:5

• God is committed, never breaking His promises:

“God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?” -Numbers 23:19

• God is loyal, a true and faithful friend:

“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” -2 Thessalonians 3:3

• God is faithful, keeping His covenant forever:

“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.” -Deuteronomy 7:9

• God is persistent, pursuing us with relentless love:

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” -Psalm 23:6

• God is the Light, shining in the darkness:

“Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'” -John 8:12

• God is the Truth, the only way to salvation:

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'” -John 14:6

• He is the Vine, the source of all life and growth:

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing.” -John 15:5

• God is the Water of Life, quenching the thirst of our souls:

“Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” -John 7:38

• God is our Creator, the One who formed us with love and purpose:

“So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” -Genesis 1:27

• God is Perfection, holy and without fault:

“As for God, His way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; He shields all who take refuge in Him.” -Psalm 18:30

• God is everything and all that I need. Every good thing comes from Him:

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” -James 1:17

My best friend is God. He is beyond words, beyond comprehension, beyond measure. And yet, He chooses to love me.

For that, I will never stop loving and praising Him.

I pray many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many,
