Make a pile of every good word man owns.  Reach into every language on the face of the entire earth and grasp good words.  Carry them gently and lay them down with love.  The pile grows to an gigantic size.  And we are happy at the shining mountain of good words.

Now, if you can, speak all those words with one word.  Let it be that there is one tongue in the world which can do that.  Now gather all the people to hear this word.  The man opens his lips.  He takes a very deep breath and lets his mouth speak that one encapsulating word.  All the people pause with extreme attention and they hear, “GOOD”.

Man is not permitted to own a word which describes the Glory of God.  We own no sound which, by itself, can express the lovely beauty that we perceive as we gaze upon Jesus with eyes of faith.

By His Grace.
