. . . is huge. Vast, enormous, boundless, beyond my comprehension.
I’ve been thinking about it lately. I think I naturally view the love of God like I view the love of a human–it can be pretty vast, but it has limits. Human love still has fear, and sometimes it doesn’t know exactly what to do.
But the love of God . . . oh my goodness. It is magnificently large. It encompasses everything I am and everything I could be and everything I was and will be. It can handle my doubts and fears and questions–and it will take in and enjoy all of my joys and happiness. His love surrounds me. It frees me to a life of security and hope and courage–and love.
The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And ’til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I’ll trust in You
~Hillsong, “‘Til I See You”
