His Love

July 29, 2022

Who could dare describe the love of our Father? What does it look like? Can you see it in the sun rising over the horizon visible beyond the waves of the unfathomable depths of the ocean? Does it appear to you in the majestic heights of the mountains or in the swaying leaves of the mighty oak tree? Maybe you've seen it in the tender caress of a mother's hand wiping away the tears of despair in her child's eyes.

Can it be heard? Imagine all the ways you've heard love. It can sound harsh with pain or disappointment. Love can be a shout or a whisper. It can be heard in a melody of a song or in the anguished cry of one betrayed by those closest. Love can sound like joyful giggles bubbling up out of a child. Love can be silent. You can hear the Holy Spirit speak love into your spirit and heart without hearing a sound.

Can it be felt? Maybe it feels like the warm rays of the rising sun falling gently across your face in the first morning light. It can feel cold like the snow falling in the winter. It can feel distant or as close as your very breath.

No matter how His love feels, looks, or sounds to you, it cannot be fully described. There is always more. It is always deeper. There is always new to learn. The love that motivated the Lord to give up his sinless son for us cannot be fully comprehended. His love governs, sets boundaries, laughs, cries, gives, takes, protects, teaches, honors, tears down, covers, exposes, runs, stays still, surprises, mourns, and guides. No matter where you are today in HIs love: basking in it, rejecting it, confused by it, searching for it, or running from it, it is here and it is now. His love is exceedingly, abundantly above anything you could imagine it to be.

Be expectant for Him to show you His love today in a new way.
