God’s Wholesome and Everlasting Love is expressed profoundly though God's active participation as our deliverer and refuge.
Everyone has their own way of communicating with God, even if they do not realize or recognize their communion with God. Just as we have nick names for ourselves, and for those we love from humans to pets to possessions, so too does our God. We have disputes on how we pronounce our names relative to our native tongue and culture. The Jewish people believe the name of God Almighty is so revered and personal they dare not speak his name aloud. They were the first to write The Lord God Almighty’s name in Hebrew as יְהֹוָה; with four consonants known as Tetragrammaton. In which the Hebrew vocalize with an alternative to God’s name as Adonai (Lord) or Elohim (God).
In English the Tetragrammaton is written as JHVH or YHWH and vocalized with vowels as Jehovah orYahweh. There is a constant derision if it means “to be” or “he is” or “he causes to become” or "He who causes to exist" or "He is the existing one” or any other translations depicting the authority of God as the self existing creator of all things. I imagine the League of Angels who are constantly in God’s presence have a name that is even more accurate. Perhaps it is one syllable or a single sound like “Ah” resembling a simple sigh. Yet it means the immensity of God’s actual being…The One and Only, King of the Universe, Wholesome Father of Infinite Love!
Let us not overlook, everyone who calls out to God for deliverance no matter what word they call him, is personal and sacred in their communion with God. I personally would not dare to dispute how some else communes with God. Nor would I want God to be offended that I should belittle the relationship of another with Him. Let us remember the words from God given to Moses when he asked the manifestation of God described as a burning bush what do I tell others:
Thanks be to the One whose kindness mercifully protects, rescues, saves me just because his love is forever in Hebrew, is written מְפַלְטִי . The English translation is Mephalti. It comes from the root word פָּלַט, translated into English as Pala, meaning to deliver, protect, escape, or rescue. Praising God in Hebrew either in common speech or in prayers as "Jehovah Mephalti” is commonly expressed in English as: "The Lord is my Deliverer!”
The importance of what we call God is due to how we can adore Him. The perfect example to do that is to go to the shortest chapter in the Bible and is also the shortest Psalm 117 of only two verses. Some argue in the original text format it was found in the exact center of the Bible.
