"God's Amazing Love"

Ephesians 3:19 "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." (KJV)

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies
of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry,
Nor could the scroll
Contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky.

These marvelous lyrics echo Paul's belief about God's love to mankind!

If we could only comprehend what is the width, the length, the depth and the height of God's love! Some people believe that the 'width' refers to it's worldwide embrace (John 3:16); 'length',is God's existence through all ages (Eph. 3:21), 'depth', it is profound wisdom (Rom. 11:33); and 'height' is it's victory over sin opening the way to heaven for everyone who believes (Eph. 4:8).

We need to appreciate this amazing love! But we soon realize it is beyond or understanding. Even if the ocean were filled with ink, as we write about God's love, we would soon drain it dry!

God's love cannot be explained--it can only be experienced!!


Thanks for 'LOVING'!
