The Boundless Ocean of God’s Love
As I gazed out the airplane window, the endless blue expanse of ocean stretched before me, punctuated by occasional sandy islands. The sun’s dance on the waves mesmerized me, and a childhood song echoed in my mind: “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.”
A Love Beyond Measure
In that moment, I was struck by the vastness of God’s love for each of us. Even the ocean, seemingly infinite, would be insufficient to express the depth of His affection. Do you truly grasp the magnitude of God’s love for you? Do you believe it encompasses you, right where you are, in this moment?
A Personal God Who Calls Your Name
Sadly, many people remain unaware of the loving, personal God who beckons them by name. Today, let this truth resonate in your heart: God loves you with an everlasting love, as Jeremiah 31:3 reminds us. His loving kindness has drawn you to Him, and His love is strong and unwavering.
Carrying God’s Love
As you go about your day, carry this knowledge with you. Be amazed by the boundless love of the Father, and let it transform your interactions with others. Share His love with those around you, and watch it spread like ripples on the ocean’s surface.
A Prayer of Gratitude
Father God, thank you that even the ocean’s ink would be insufficient to express Your love for me. Help me to live in the knowledge of Your unwavering love, never doubting Your goodness toward me. Grant me strength to navigate life’s challenges, and empower me to live as Your treasured child today. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
A Call to Action
Pause, wherever you are, and thank God for His love. Ask Him to reveal someone who needs His love today, and respond with an act of kindness. As you do, remember that God’s love is not limited – it’s boundless, just like the ocean.
