When I consider how loving God is, how passionate and compassionate he is towards me, I am overwhelmed! I often feel like King David when he wrote, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which you have set in place, 4what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? Psalm 8:3-4

The fact that he loves people like me with all our sin and failure is astounding! I love the description King David gives of the faithful love of God here in this Scripture.

Psalm 103:8-13  8The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 12as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 13As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.

To me, God’s love for us is beyond description! If there’s one thing that has dramatically changed my life over the past six or seven years, it is the growing revelation within me of God’s tremendous love! Here’s another writing from David that I love.

Ps 146:5-10 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them— the Lord, who remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free; the Lord gives sight to the blind; the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord.

WOW! Our God is amazing! He is everything we need and more! The secret to a great life is fully trusting in his love and watchful care over us! I pray that you would be entirely convinced of his love for you today and that you would wholly receive that he is...

YOUR FAITHFUL, LOVING GOD!
