boundless

Lately, I've been thinking a whole stinkin lot about the hugeness of my Savior.
And His grace.

And His love.

For me.

And I am blown away.

We were singing this song the other night at church:

Your love is deeper than any ocean

Higher than the heavens reaches

Than all the stars in the sky

Jesus, Your love has no bounds

Jesus, Your love has no bounds

Your love is deep

Your love is wide

Your love is great

Your love is high

Your love is all we ever need!

Your love is all we ever need!

And God, once again, reminded me of the HUGENESS of His love for this world.

Not just for me.

But for you.

And for the people you love.

And for the people you don't even like.

I thought of this world being like a snow globe.

And I realized that I normally think of God's love in this world being like the snow.

It's lovely and beautiful.

It could settle on anything, but it still leaves some parts of the little snow-globe-world empty.

Then I started thinking maybe His love is like the water.

It fills up every empty space, leaves nothing uncovered.

There.  That sounds more right.

And then I started to realize that if God's love is the water, then He just touches the surfaces of the world inside the snow globe...He doesn't permeate every part.

So I realized that it is not where God fits inside the snow globe.

God's love IS the snow globe and everything in it.

His love is everything.

Whatever the tiny homes and people and things are made out of...its God's love.

Whatever is surrounding their little lives...its God's love.

The sky, the water, the grass...God's love.

Everything.

God's love is everywhere.

It is higher than the heavens.

It is deeper than the oceans.

It is not a sprinkle that touches our world in some places.

It is not a blanket that rests on top of our whole world.

It is IN and AROUND everything.

His love has no bounds.

There is nowhere I can run to escape from it.

There is nothing I can do to remove myself from it.

It permeates my life and this world.

(Romans 8:38-39!)

Now that's a love I can believe in.

And trust in.

And give my life to.
