His Love For Me

Have you ever wondered how much God loves you?

It's probably not a question we can answer, not because we don't know but because we cannot measure the love He has for us. We cannot put words to it. It is never ending and ever lasting. 

The house that I live in has a hallway which I consider to be long, but seriously compare that to the street and it's quite short.  But then compare my street with the main street that runs from my suburb to the next and it's nothing. Compare that main street with the highway connecting me with the city and again, it's nothing. And it continues, there is always something bigger, except God's love. There is nothing that could possibly be measured as bigger. It's so large that it's impossible to measure. 

I think about the love I have for my friends and I know that God's love is bigger. I think about the love I have for my family but God's love is even bigger than that. If I think about anyone of my friends of family members getting hurt and it hurts me, I would do anything to help them. God is like that with every one of us. Imagine looking down on your loved ones, loving them this much, but knowing that they either don't know you or refuse to love you back. Would you continue to reach for them every day? God does! Even when I was far from Him, even when I didn't know Him, and when I refused to acknowledge His existence, He still loved me. It seems like craziness... but it's true, and it's what He does for all of His children. 

Some days it's just important to sit back and realise the size of His love for us and just take it all in. I don't think there is anything that could be better than knowing He loves me!

Thankful for: His Love

I just need to be thankful for His love today. It's so overwhelming. His love fills my life with a joy and peace that no other could bring.
