And the Nature of God

Anyone reading this blog can get the sense I really love the French- most all things French and some people in particular. Blame it on my georgeous mother whose ancestry is part French and her maiden name all French.
I particularly love the language (and beg forgiveness for not getting it always right. I am a work in progress)

By way of one example of how great it is- let's look at how they say "God Almighty". It is such a common English phrase, as in "I believe in God Almighty maker of heaven and earth." So common it takes on a banality when said by memory. Yeah, that guy- the God Almighty. In French, it has more meaning. The word in French is Dieu Tout Puissant.
Directly translated it means "God All Powerful." The Puissant comes from the verb Pouvoir which is where we get the word Power from. The conjugation of Pouvoir (je peux, tu peux, il peut) directly translated means "I can, you can, he can, etc...." God Can. As in "Can he do it- yes, he can!"
Because he is ALL POWERFUL.
God The All Powerful. He can do it.
The notion that "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD" oomes directly from his name. His name means "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" -He is ALL POWERFUL.

So what do you think of as impossible right now for you? What do you hope aspire and dream can happen to you? If you team up with ONE who is ALL POWERFUL all things are truly possible, because imagine the Power that it took to create Heaven and Earth? Your drama he can accomplish with a breath. Team up this Holy Week with the ONE who is ALL POWERFUL and watch your life change in bigger ways than you ever imagined.

Love is bigger than a breadbox, it is bigger than all your problems, all your heart-ache, all your destruction and all your disapointment and all your problems. Love Rescues from the pit, it Raised from the Dead.
That's what Easter is all about.
