Indescribable

What does it truly mean for God to be indescribable? To be indescribable means the words of this world cannot contain Him. Our small minds cannot possibly comprehend the gloriousness of His nature. He is beyond our comprehension.
Think about that for a moment. No matter how many praises we give, no matter how much glory we perceive, no matter the mercy we've received, no matter how much we shout His love from the highest mountain tops...we cannot even come close to understanding His magnificence. Our God is too great, too holy, too absolutely perfect, to describe.
Remember back when we were children and we used to claim that our relatives were stronger than whoever's we were talking to? We would exaggerate our family's attributes to make them sound bigger and better than they actually were. Looking back, we all admit that it wasn't exactly true that our uncle is 9 feet tall with legs like tree trunks, but, at the time, it sounded good. Now take our Heavenly Father. No matter how wonderfully we describe Him, He cannot be over-exaggerated. Take heart that the One who holds us is beyond words.
Think of that word that most of us resort to when we attempt to describe our Lord: perfection. We, who are mere mortals and live on this earth, attempt perfection every so often. But whether it be on a project to a weight goal to the perfect home, we all always fall miserably short. Not God. He is nothing less than absolute pure perfection. Take heart that the One who holds us succeeds where we all fail, for it is His perfect Son that suffered for our sins so that we may even attempt to humble ourselves before the Lord.
