The Endless Ocean of God’s Love
As I gazed out the airplane window, I was struck by the breathtaking view below. The vast expanse of ocean stretched out before me, seemingly without end. Scattered across its surface, tiny islands broke the monotony of the endless blue. The sun danced on the rolling waves, casting a mesmerizing glow.
A Childhood Memory
Suddenly, a familiar tune echoed in my mind – a song I had learned as a child. The lyrics resonated deeply: “If 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 the love of God above would drain the ocean dry, Nor could the scroll contain the whole though stretched from sky to sky.” This poignant reminder of God’s boundless love left me in awe.
God’s Unwavering Devotion
From my vantage point in the sky, I was reminded of our incredible God and His endless love for each of us. Even the vast expanse of the ocean would be insufficient to express the depth of His love. As Jeremiah 31:3 so eloquently puts it, “… Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.”
Never Doubt God’s Love
Yet, so many people remain unaware of the loving, personal God who calls their name. Today, let us be reminded of the immense love God has for us. Carry this knowledge in your heart, and be amazed by it. Share it with those around you, and thank Him for it right now. Live as a treasured child of the Father, basking in His unwavering devotion.
A Heartfelt Prayer
Father God, thank you that even if the ocean were ink, it would never be enough to write Your love for me. What an incredible fact! Help me today to live in the knowledge of how very much You love me. Give me strength to handle life’s uncertainties and help me never to doubt Your goodness toward me. Enable me to live today as Your treasured child. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
