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.
