Indescribable is something that is too extraordinary to be described! Can you imagine that? What in your life is indescribable? Is it the love of your life? Your child? A gift that you received that you were not expecting?
Or, consider this: What
in all creation cannot be described? The
beauty of a sunrise or sunset? The
ocean? The view from the top of a
mountain? The rolling hills of Ireland? The Grand Canyon? The Red Rock Canyons?
Think about something so magnificent, so majestic, so glorious
that you cannot find the words to tell someone else how that object or
experience has impacted your life.
For me, it was underneath the stars at a Young Life Camp where
I accepted Jesus into my heart at age 16 in 1972. The stars were shining so brilliantly and the
feeling of awe and reverence was so thick I felt I could cut it with a
knife! I felt the presence of God in
such a way that I would call it indescribable. And, the gift that Jesus gave me
that night was the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of me. Me! Little ol’ Pam…..And, He gave me that gift
for the rest of my life. Yes, the same
power that rose Jesus from the dead as Jeremy Camp’s song “Same Power” says,
was now inside of me! WOW!
At that moment, I did not realize all that would come about in
my life. So many times, when I was discouraged or feeling down in the dumps not
knowing exactly what to do with my life, I would ponder what path I should
take? For instance, after college. Yes,
I had a Music Education degree and wanted to teach music to elementary
students, but I could not find a job. It took months! And, it was 2 weeks before school started
that fall semester, that I finally got offered a job in Cincinnati! Whew! Was
that a “God-incidence?” I believe so!
Then, after waiting 15 years to have a child, my son Matthew
was born. Now that was indescribable. Just the pure joy I felt in knowing I
would have a child after years of waiting was indescribable. We named him
“Matthew” which means “Gift of God.”
Yes, he is truly my gift from God. Everyday, I thank the Lord for this
gift! His smile makes me melt every time I see him – he is so handsome, smart,
funny and considerate!
What other gift is indescribable? Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! In 2
Corinthians 9:15, the Bible says: “Thanks be to God for His indescribable
gift!”
That is the ultimate “Indescribable” gift…….we can never repay
this debt that was paid on our behalf. Never.
And, it is truly the gift that I am most thankful for every day!
