The Measureless Sea

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is HIS love for those who fear HIM. Psalm 103:11

In today's devotional, simple children's songs teach and remind us about an uncomprehensible fact: God's love deeper and wider than we could ever imagine.

Wide, wide as the ocean, high as the Heaven above;
Deep, deep as the deepest sea is my Savior’s love.
I, though so unworthy, still am a child of His care;
For His Word teaches me that His love reaches me everywhere.

What an uplifting way to start the day! Thinking about how much God loves us....It's like trying to explain how much I love my baby girl.

I was asked to think about God has shown His unconditional love for me this week. The first thing my mind went to was my baby. I have read several stories lately about moms who have lost their precious babies to SIDS which makes me realize how blessed I am that my angel is in my arms. God shows His love by blessing His children and, although I adore my baby, by reminding me how precious life is God has reminded me how much He loves me. He loves me enough make me a mommy and to give me moments with her that not all moms get. Two days ago, Ariah climbed up four stairs just to get to me. Some moms don't even get to see a smile. I have been blessed. God has blessed me because He loves me.

By the way, I am not saying that those moms whose lost children are any less blessed. By experiencing any aspect of motherhood, they are blessed with a glimpse at how much God loves them as His children. They are then blessed by His constant pressence as they work through their tragedies.

We can see God's unconditional love in everything we do and everywhere we go. God does not want it to be a secret. How has God showed YOU His everlasting love? Deeper and wider than the ocean, higher than the heavens, God's love is amazing!
