LIMITLESS LOVE

READ:

Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
-Psalm 36:5

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Numbers 7-8
Mark 4:21-41

Recently, a friend sent me the history of a hymn that I often heard in church when I was a boy:
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;
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky.
These words are part of an ancient Jewish poem and were once found on the wall of a patient's room in an insane asylum.
Also, Frederick M. Lehman was so moved by the poem that he desired to expand on it. In 1917, while seated on a lemon box during his lunch break from his job as a labourer, he added the words of the first two stanzas and the chorus, completing the song "The Love of God."
The psalmist describes the comforting assurance of God's love in Psalm 36: "Your steadfast love, O LORD extends to the heavens" (v.5 ESV). Regardless of the circumstances of life - whether in a moment of sanity in a mind otherwise muddled with confusion or during a dark time of trial - God's love is a beacon of hope, our ever-present, inexhaustible source of strength and confidence. - Joe Stowell
Oh love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure,
The saints' and angels' song. - Lehman

You are loved with everlasting love.

JESUS IN YOUR BOAT

No doubt, life in a sense is like the sea. A characteristic of the sea is that storms of varying degrees arise, putting the lives of those sailing on it in jeopardy of being drowned. In Jesus' Name, the storms of life will not be able to drown you, your family and your business. While literal storms are natural...More
