Held in His Love

The Love of God

Scripture
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
Psalm 103:11 (KJV)

Reflection

There is no corner of your life beyond the reach of God's love. Psalm 103:11 insists, "For as the heaven is high above…" — and the Lord means every word of it. He is not distant. He is not weary of you. The same love that hung the stars holds the small details of your day. Sometimes the heart needs to be reminded slowly, until the truth sinks deeper than the noise. You are loved. You are loved. You are loved. Let the truth do its quiet work today. From this love, draw the courage to face what must be faced. From this love, find the kindness to extend to those around you. The Father's heart is bigger than your worst day and gentler than your deepest fear.

Prayer

Father, thank You for loving me beyond what I deserve. Let Your love be the deep ground beneath my day. Amen.

Thought for the Day

Whom can I love today out of the love God has given me?
