I'm Amazed That You Love Me

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.
Incredible, isn’t it?
To imagine God’s love reaching across the boundaries of time,
encircling us in his ceaseless embrace.
Do you yearn to feel his heavenly arms around you?
Holding you, comforting you, cherishing you?

~~Liz Curtis Higgs

It is truly beyond our comprehension. A God who loves us. A God not of stone or marble but a living being. A God who existed before time itself.
This God reaches across time and space to encircle us in a ceaseless embrace. This is beyond our imagination, so he shows it in thousands of ways he knows we can process. Sense his beaming face when you help a neighbor. Feel his comfort in a friend’s kind words. His love is conveyed through the hug of a child, the smile of a stranger, the hand-squeeze of an elderly acquaintance. His love warms us with the sunshine and refreshes us with the rain.
When you need a reminder of God’s incomprehensible love, you need only look around to witness the many wonderful ways he lavishes it on you.
Feel his comforting, cherishing embrace. His love will not let you go.
Prayer for Meditation
Dear God, even though I can’t understand your infinite love, I see it all around. Thank you.

Scripture for Meditation
For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth. Psalm 108:4-5
