They were close to The Creator, but after they ‘felt separate through sin’ they did not yet have the emotional skills to be honest with Him. They hid, blamed, and could not stay present with […]

Words are made for descriptions

Words are made for descriptions

They can describe qualities: wise, kind, powerful, patient, giving, alive. They can describe experiences: joy, sadness, fear, pleasure, wonder. They can describe roles: king, creator, father, teacher, judge. But words only describe the part of truth that can enter human understanding.
