Stirred By The Scriptures

Here is one of those sentences I wish I could claim as my own, but it belongs to Brennan Manning.  He is describing the love of God.

“But someday, the adjectives will give way to the reality.”

I think of all the adjectives, the words I feebly use to try and describe the love of God that come up short. It is more than describing however, I am trying to understand the depth of his love that is directed at me.  The words are colorful and sound powerful but unless they wash over my soul and seep into every fiber of my being they are impotent.
