Y is for Yahweh

By Janae Bower on December 15, 2011

Yahweh is another name for God.  According to the article The Names of God a study by J. Hampton Keathley, III “Yahweh (YHWH): Comes from a verb which means “to exist, be.” This, plus its usage, shows that this name stresses God as the independent and self-existent God of revelation and redemption (Gen. 4:3; Ex. 6:3 (cf. 3:14); 3:12).

Here is a sampling of some attributes, quotes and reflections on God.

  • Counselor
  • everlasting life
  • Glorious
  • Hope
  • Holy
  • Love
  • Light

  • Majesty
  • Rock
  • Shield
  • Strength

Quotes

I want to know God’s thoughts…the rest are details. – Albert Einstein

Faith can move mountains, but don’t be surprised if God hands you a shovel. ~ Unknown Author

Your job is to clarify what your passions are. God’s job is to organize how they will be realized.” – from The Passion Test

God is in the details. – Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer, to know that He loves me and that I have been created for greater things. – Mother Theresa

Reflections

Yogananda said that the only thing we can possibly give God is our love. Imagine our actually having something to give that God cares about! “The only thing lacking to Him is our love. That is what God wants from us: our love; our trust in Him; our joy in His infinite joy.” (from Essence of Self Realization)

Mother Theresa delivered a similar message. She relayed that Jesus appeared to her and helped her understand that when he said “I thirst,” He was telling us that God wants us to love Him in the same way He loves us. God yearns for our love!

St. Augustine said “Deus sitit sitiri.” That is “God thirsts to be thirsted for.”

God is standing by waiting for us to love Her. Through this, we can enter into Divine Bliss.     – Excerpt from the December 2011 The Expanding Light, Ananda’s Spiritual Retreat for Meditation Yoga and Health
