God is a verb.

God is a verb.
-Buckminister Fuller
God is a verb. What is a verb?
Its like an action or a state of being.
What is a noun?
A person, place, or thing.
So as i'm reading this book its explaining that God is a verb. "Verbs such as confession, epenting, living, loving, responding, growing, reaping, changing, sowing, running, dancing, signing and on and on." Isn't that a sweet awesome way to see God? I never thought of it !

So here Sarayu, or the Holy Spirit, is talking saying " I am a verb. I am that I am. I will be who I will be. I am a verb! I am alive, dynamic, ever active, and moving. I am being a verb."

"Humans, on the other hand, have a knack for taking a verb that is alive and full of grace and turning it into a dead noun or principle that reeks of rules: something growing and alive physical reality, but if the universe is only a mass of nouns, it is dead. Unless 'I am', there are no verbs, and verbs are what makes the universe alive."

Yes, so ... God is a verb. That's exciting.
