God's Amazing Love (Continued)

October 25, 2012

It was 5:15 AM... and I was just starting to awaken. I quoted Psalm 8 several times as I slipped in and out of sleep. Then, all of a sudden, I realized I was "singing" another old hymn in my sub-consciousness. Another song about the love of God.

The Love of God

The love of God is greater far

Than tongue or pen can ever tell

It goes beyond the highest star

And reaches to the lowest hell

The guilty pair, bowed down with care

God gave His Son to win

His erring child He reconciled

And pardoned from his sin.

Could we with ink the ocean fill

And were the skies of parchment made

Were every stalk on earth a quill

And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above

Would drain the ocean dry

Nor could the scroll contain the whole

Though stretched from sky to sky.

O love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure

The saints' and angels' song.

(Listen to it here.) 

For some reason, God has me entirely focused on His love. As I was writing/singing this song I started singing, "O How He Loves You and Me" from yesterday. Then I started singing the chorus from another old hymn. "Such love, such wondrous love, Such love, such wondrous love. That God should love a sinner such as I, How wonderful is love like this."

I don't know what is going on, but something is. I am grateful that no matter what it is there is no fear because God is LOVE. I'm not going to try to determine what it is that God is preparing me for. To do so would create anxiety, fear, worry, etc., all things that are not from God. No. I am instead going to rest in Him KNOWING that God is LOVE—and that is enough.

"Whatever befall me Jesus doeth all things well."
