My Loves.
So this happened a few weeks ago, but it's taken me until now to get it out....oops!
I got to my liberal studies class early one day. The professor for my class teaches a more advanced liberal studies class before mine. I started to do my homework, but then overheard (yes, I was eavesdropping on the class discussion) but I overheard them discussing Christ. One of the questions my professor asked the class was "do you think God is a noun?" I peaked a little into the class to see that most of the class had their hands raised to say that indeed, they thought God was a noun.
Class ended and I walked into the room. I walked up to my professor and said, "I overheard you talking about if God was a noun. I think God is a verb. He's a linking verb to be exact. God IS, and Jesus always said, I AM."
She replied, "Or maybe He's a helping verb."
It got me thinking. Perhaps, God is all parts of speech. Take a noun for instance: person place or thing. He sent His son, Jesus, as a person to walk amongst us. As a place, well goodness, I see Heaven and God all over…the clouds, sunsets, trees, waterfalls, rocks, flowers, mountains, and all good things. Nouns are usually subjects of sentences and well, Jesus should be the subject of everything we do. Our purpose in life is placing Jesus as the subject.
And as a verb? I can totally imagine the Holy Spirit as a verb, running through us, at work in us, and moving in the world. He's what gets things done. The Holy Spirit is God in action.
Adverbs deal more with time and location. God is above all things. He is all around us, and He runs through us. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow? Aren’t those adverbs? (Okay, so maybe I’m a little rusty on my English skills to be writing this email but I’m trying here, give me credit).
Do any of you remember the A, B, C cheering you on I wrote? Because if you do, this one reminds me of that one. I’m just so constantly reminded of how God is in all things. Our talking, speaking, communicating, our alphabet, and now I see Him even in our grammar. Too fun.
Have a wonderful day and when you have to write a paper, or send an email or compose anything with writing and grammar just remember God is in it!
Cheering you on as you see God in the sentences you write.
May you seek to see God in all things that are good.
