Here's another X--I'm sure y'all are tired of them by now. I know that doing an essence of God is really hard, and could be interpreted the wrong way, but I really enjoyed doing it; it was a great time of worship. Hopefully reading this can bring you closer to God and to more of an awareness of the amazing sacrifice that was made for us to cleanse us from our sins!

God
Creator {

   # You know, that Greek myth? #
  )

  <A man who died defending his family>

  Salvation (
   <A diamond ring given as a gift – That you could never afford>
   <A valuable pearl>
   <A clean heart / washed like snow>

   <a guard watching a security video>
   <a huge being who knows everything>
   <Goliath roller-coaster at Six Flags Georgia>

    # It goes around the ENTIRE park #

 ]
 Sin [

   <A feast after a hard war>
   <The empty tomb with the stone rolled away>
   <Satan cast into the lake of fire in Revalation>

}

I'm not entirely happy with this one...not as many metaphors and similes as I'd like, so maybe I'll make a version 2.0 in the coming days. :)

Very intriguing. I know this is more than I would attempt, but you've done what you have admirably. :)

Thanks Lady Eruwaedhiel. I'll probably add to it soon when I have the time.

Wow... you did a really great job on this. I love the similes you chose. It's pretty amazing to think that all the essence maps in the world could not fully describe who God is!

Yes, that's one of the things I want to emphasize more when I re-do it. Not that I can ever show how huge and majestic He really is but I would like to show it to the extent that I can. :)
