Dear
All,
Most
blessed are those who have enjoyed the love of God and are in the ocean of His
love. Come to Him to enjoy His love. It is more than the love of your wife, husband,
mother, father, brother, sister or friends. His love can never be measured, can
never be compared.
God
says “Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son
of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. See, I have
inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.”
Below are few
illustrations of His love.
What man of you,
having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine
in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when
he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes
home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them,
"Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I say to you
that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than
over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
What woman, having ten silver coins,
if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search
carefully until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls her friends
and neighbors together, saying, "Rejoice with me, for I have found the
piece which I lost!'
Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the
angels of God over one sinner who repents.
A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said
to his father, "Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So
he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son
gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions
with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in
that land, and he began to be in want. Then he went and joined himself to a citizen
of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly
have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him
anything."But when he came to himself, he said,"How many of my
father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with
hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I
have sinned against heaven and before you,and I am no longer worthy to be
called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants."'"And he
arose and came to his father.But when he was still a great way off, his father
saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And
the son said to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight,
and am no longer worthy to be called your son.' "But the father said to
his servants,"Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on
his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and
let us eat and be merry;for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was
lost and is found.' And they began to be merry. "Now his older son was in
the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and
dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And
he said to him, "your brother has come, and because he has received him safe
and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.'"But he was angry and
would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. So he
answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years I have been serving you;
I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a
young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. But as soon as this son of
yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots; you killed the
fatted calf for him. And he said to him, "Son, you are always with me, and
all that I have is yours. It was right that we should make merry and be glad,
for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found."
I
can remember the first song taught in my school on God’s love.
God’s love is so wonderful.
It is so high that we can’t get over it.
It is so deep that we can’t get below it.
It is so wide that we can’t get around it
Oh Oh wonderful LOVE.
