“The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star And reaches to the lowest hell …. Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure—The saints’ and angels’ song.” [The Love of God, Frederick M Lehman, 1917]
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” [1John 4:7-8]
The love of God is eternal, sovereign, unchanging, and infinite. God’s love is active. He draws us to Himself. It is personal – He doesn’t just love all of mankind in some generic sense – He loves you and He loves me. Nothing in us – nothing we do – can change God’s love for us.
While we can please or displease God, we cannot by our meager actions change God’s love for us. His love is as His nature – it knows no beginning and no end.
To learn to abide in that love should be the goal of every human heart. “Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure—The saints’ and angels’ song.”
Thank you LORD. Amen & Amen
