Describe God's love. What are the first 3 words that come to mind?
Chances are one of them is our today's cliche alert word. While singing in church yesterday, I realised that this adjective has lost its meaning. Sad. It used to make a picture come into our minds. We'd imagine a beautiful, mysterious [...] Now we imagine nothing at all. The image has been worn thing. It's now just a word.
What a shame. Perhaps in a couple of centuries song writers will be able to use it again.

Are you thinking "awesome"?
ReplyDeleteMy first choice would have been 'great', but given I was at church yesterday I suspect you're thinking of a four letter word starting with 'd'
ReplyDeletePersonally I still think great is the most overused adjective to describe God's love.
Deep?

Deep it is.
Maybe we should bring back "unfathomable". :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd no, we're still waiting for the CD.
A challenge to us writers to keep thinking of relevant and fresh words, not being lazy and relying on the clique!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I completely missed the point about describing his love not his person. There is a lesson in that somewhere for me.
ReplyDeleteYay!
