How Great Is God’s Love

I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may
have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp
how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
19
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you
may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
—Ephesians 3:17-19

From Rick Warren’s Daily Hope…

God loves you so much that he sent Jesus on a mission of love with a message of
love. The Bible doesn’t say God has love; it says God is love. Love is his nature; God
is love. God created the entire universe. He created this planet; he created the hu-
man race. Then he created you because he loves you. It could be said the reason
you’re alive is because God created you as an object of his love. God made you so
he could love you and so that you could love him. God’s love for you is the reason
your heart’s beating right now; it’s the reason you’re breathing. God’s Good News is
that he loves you on your good days as much as he loves you on your bad days. He
loves you when you can feel his love, and he loves you when you can’t seem to feel
his love. He loves you whether or not you think you deserve his love. There is noth-
ing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply
can’t do it — because his love for you is based upon his character and not on any-
thing you do or say or feel. God loves you so much that he sent his only Son, Jesus,
into this world, (John “so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but
have eternal life” 3:16 NLT). When Jesus stretched his arms out as wide as the
cross, he was saying, “I love you this much! I love you so much it hurts. I love you so
much I’ll die for you so that I won’t have to live without you.” God’s love surpasses
all human knowledge, and it is difficult for any of us to grasp the width and length
and height and depth of God’s love for each one of us
In His Service,
Allen

Great thoughts… by Andy Rooney

*I've learned... The best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
*I've learned... When you're in love, it shows.
*I've learned... Just one person saying to me, 'You've made my day!' makes my day.
*I've learned... Having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the
world.
*I've learned... Being kind is more important than being right.
*I've learned... You should never say no to a gift from a child.
*I've learned... I can pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.
*I've learned... No matter how serious life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act
goofy with.
*I've learned... Sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
*I've learned... Simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a
child did wonders for me as an adult.
*I've learned... Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
*I've learned... Money doesn't buy class.
*I've learned... It's those small daily happenings that make life spectacular.
*I've learned... Under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
*I've learned... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.
*I've learned... When you plan to get even with someone, you’re only letting that person
continue to hurt you.
*I've learned... That love, not time, heals all wounds.
*I've learned... The easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people
smarter than I am.
*I've learned... That life is tough, but I'm tougher.
*I've learned... When you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.
*I've learned... A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
*I've learned... When your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that
you're hooked for life.
*I've learned... Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but happiness and growth
occurs while you're climbing it.
