Most Active Verb Of All???

"Why indeed must "God" be a noun? Why not a verb - the most active and dynamic of all?" - Mary Daly, feminist theologian

Well, I'm not sure I can imagine using "God" as a verb. God is my Source and the Power greater than myself that keeps guiding me in my life. I don't think I could change the way I use "God" in my life as far as my sentence structure is concerned. Hmmm...

The last part of the quote is what got my attention. For me, God is the most active, dynamic, loving, and compassionate Power in my life. I can't imagine where I would be today if I hadn't taken the time to find a deeper connection with God as I understand Him. I live with a sense of peace and serenity every day because I know that all is well, even when it seems like things are going wrong. I have come to believe that my Higher Power is big enough to take care of me and everything that is going on in my life. This belief works for me.

Well, I'm not sure I'll ever wrap my head around using "God" as a verb but I know that I will always be able to think of God as the most active and dynamic Power of all. Of this I am sure.
