May we understand, with all God’s people, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love really is. May we experience the love of Christ, though it is so great we will never fully grasp it this side of heaven. Then we will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
How can words describe, or humans fully understand, something that is as deep as God Himself? God’s love is greater than words have the ability to communicate. It is impossible to put into language I suppose. How can we explain the unexplainable? How can we know something that is beyond the ability of human knowledge to comprehend? We would have to be God Himself to fully understand why He loves us the way He does. Don’t expect to ever understand it. But we can accept it. You can believe it. You can experience it and enjoy it.
God’s love for us was demonstrated in redemption. God took our place and suffered what we deserved, so we could be forgiven and go free. God proved that He loved us more than He loves Himself. He did not spare Himself to help us out of our bondage to sin.
God’s love for us is also evident in creation. Not just in abundant provision, but also in all the beauty He created for our enjoyment. What a wonderful display of the loving and giving nature of God. Not only did He make everything we need, but He made it in abundance, and with great variety. Every good thing in life was created by God for us because of His great love for us all. Give Him praise this morning for the love He has for you.
