God's Depth of Love

What is God’s depth of love for us?

The answer is in today’s Good News; “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life."

Nothing can stop the onrush of God’s reaching out to us.

In Proverbs 8:17 we read;  I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.

A Child's Thought of God  by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

They say that God lives very high;
But if you look above the pines
You cannot see our God; and why?

And if you dig down in the mines,
You never see Him in the gold,
Though from Him all that’s glory shines.

God is so good, He wears a fold
Of heaven and earth across His face,
Like secrets kept, for love, untold.

But still I feel that His embrace
Slides down by thrills, through all things made,
Through sight and sound of every place;

As if my tender mother laid
On my shut lids her kisses’ pressure,
Half waking me at night, and said,
“Who kissed you through the dark, dear guesser?
