The Love of God
One of my favorite hymns is “The Love of God.” In it, Fredrich Lehman boldly declares
🎵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. 🎵
This confidence in the infinite vastness of the love of God, and the deep rooted confidence His love grants to us, emboldens our witness. We are not serving from our own easily corrupted love, but from His pure love. We are not sharing our own message of hope, but the eternal and true message of God’s sacrificial love in sending His Son to take the punishment for us sinners. As we come close to Valentine's Day, may His love compel you to share the good news with your friends, family and neighbors.
