A Deep, Deep Love.

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ." -Ephesians 3:17-19

O the deep, deep love of Jesus!

'Tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me;

And it lifts me up to glory,

With You evermore to be.

Samuel Francis

When everything around us crumbles, we will always have the love of God. No matter how bad we mess up, no matter how unloved--or unlovable--we've been, His love endures forever. His love is so deep that it's incomprehensible. Sometimes the lack of love we give and receive makes it hard for us to accept and understand that God truly loves us. But He does, and His grace can help us understand and live out the loving affection our Father has for us.

The song "O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus," penned by Samuel Francis in the 1800's, describes this vast love of God. Find comfort in the knowledge that God's love is unconditional and irresistible:

'Tis an ocean vast of blessing,

'Tis a haven sweet of rest.

Father, I know that You love me, but sometimes that reality is hard to accept. Help me live in Your love today, and help me share it with others. Amen.
