Written summer 1997-
Jehovah, You are my personal
God, and I love You! May my love grow more and more as I seek to understand who
You are. Your personal name is Jehovah
which means "(the)self-Existent or Eternal". "Moses said unto (You),
Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel and shall say unto them, the God
of Your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his
name? what shall I say unto them?: (You) said unto Moses, "I Am That I am"! (Ex.
3:13-14a) What an awesome thought! I can remember as a little girl meditatinig
on Your ALWAYS BEING alive. It was and IS still so "mind boggling" to meditate
on this! You had NO BEGINNING! You have ALWAYS existed! O Jehovah God, thou art the Supreme - the
highest and greatest in authority...sovereign...because You were here before
anything else was. You are Almighty, All powerful, All holy, and ...Are
there really any words to describe who You are?
Strong's Concordance says "name" can mean "as a mark or memorial
of individuality;. by impl. honor, authority,character.." Yes,
Jehovah Lord, You have complete "individuality".
There is absolutely nothing or no one like You! You have
the HIGHEST honor, authority, and the BEST, MOST PERFECT character
of anyone or anything!
You also said to Moses, "...There is my
name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." (Ex. 2:15b) Lord
Jehovah, may Your name, Jehovah, be a special memento and keepsake to me to remind me of
Your absolute self-existence and permanent-existence. May Your NAME be the
"ring" on my finger, the "pendant" around my neck, and the precious "gift"
locked up in my heart!!!
You are the Supreme Being - the essence of LIFE,
and all of LIFE flows from Thee! Jesus, You are the "living bread which
came down from heaven". So I "eat" Your flesh and "drink" Your blood, and
You dwell in me and I in You. (From Jn. 6: 56) As I am "caugtht up" in
You, I have LIFE! As I "hunger" and "thirst" after You, I am filled
-filled with You and with spiritual satisfaction and true peace and joy!
You are the FULFILLMENT of my heart - my highest heart's desire! "The
chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever" - as the catechism
says. Jehovah, You are my sole purpose
for living! "And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they may KNOW THEE the only
true God..." (Jn. 17: 3a) Jehovah, my
Lord, the Self-Existent One who is the essence of LIFE, You
are MY LIFE, and all praise goes to Thee! In Jesus' name.
Amen!
