“His Love…As Deep As the Sea!”
by Dona Hake
“I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. ”
Romans 8:39 (The Message)
A few days ago I shared with you about God’s command to us to walk in love. God has empowered us to do this for He is total love. He would never ask us to do something apart from enabling us to do so. Today we will meditate upon how deep our Lord’s love is. His love is so deep and great, and He promises to never stop loving us. What is so wonderful to know is that there is not one thing in this life that could create separation between us and the love of our Lord.
Let us never forget that from the time we awaken till when we lay our head down to sleep that we should simply praise His Name and enjoy His love. As I ponder this I think about all that can happen in a day and to be quite honest sometimes we may encounter difficulties or difficult people that make it hard to keep praise to Him in our hearts toward Him. We can be guilty of permitting the distractions and difficulties to distort our focus on Him. The Lord desires that there is an offering of praise proceeding from our hearts no matter what is going on around us. As we keep our heart of praise that does not cease, we will maintain an awareness that nothing can separate us from His loving presence.
Psalm 42:8 (CEB)
“By day the Lord commands his faithful love;
by night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.”
“By day the Lord commands his faithful love;
by night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.”
