Formidable Love

     Everyone is loved by the Creator of Heaven and Earth.

Think about that for a moment.

     God adores each and every person that exists, those that have existed, and those that will exist. Not a single soul is exempt from His all-encompassing passion. Simply the size of this everlasting love overreaches every imaginative possibility that human minds could create, let alone comprehend!
     In addition, begin to consider the astounding depth of God's love. Think of every hateful and dishonest word, every foul impurity, every bit of offensive or slanderous language that you heard today. Each person that you heard, even those that slander and misuse the holy name of the Almighty God, is loved with a burning desire that will forget these wrongdoings.
     Now, consider that this only scratches the surface of the world's sin. What I have just described only takes into account verbally expressed sins and mentions nothing of the world's near-infinite realm of unholy thoughts and actions. God even considers murderers, adulterers, and those thought to be the worst of criminals to be worthy of his affections. This powerful love is truly deeper than anything we can imagine!
     This is the formidable love of the God that I serve.
