  Some of the shortest words in the English language have some of the deepest meanings. For example, words like "oh" or "so" or "am" or "is" or "be" or, of course,  "I". God so loved the world
.🌎  We don't necessarily need long words to express deep meaning.  
  We have sung "Jesus, Jesus  ,Jesus, there's just something about that name." But we aren't to stop there.  That's only the beginning.  Now it's time to articulate more of what it is about that name that we praise. 
  Before the world was ever made this Jesus of whom and to whom I sing gave me a purpose as a precious gift. Now it's up to me both to unwrap the gift and unfold that purpose. One way we can know that we are unfolding God's purpose for our lives is that we are doing so by serving in His strength 💪 and not our own, and therefore, taking pleasure and feeling God's pleasure in what we do and the way we do it.
