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!

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.
