YOU ARE LOVED BEYOND MEASURE

Ephesians 3:18-19 ....How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding - this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God! (The Passion Translation)

Have you ever read the book ""Guess How Much I Love You"? It has a rabbit on the cover with his arms stretched wide to describe the bunny's love. Or have you heard the expression "I love you to the moon and back"?

Those are all lovely warm sentiments that make us feel good but they're limited. But may I remind each one of us of the One who loved us so much that Jesus stretched out His arms for us and says "I loved you to the Cross and back". His love knows no limits.

If ever we've felt God's not listening, God doesn't care, God doesn't love me, then just look to the Cross because that is how much He loves and cares for you and me. In fact, our verse says His love is so big it just can't be measured!

I once received a slip of paper from my daughter which looked just like a ruler and on it were the words:

'You are loved beyond measure...' Ephesians 3:19

I have it pinned on my mirror so every morning I read it and it reminds me that God's love for me is so wide, high, deep and long that it just goes beyond every measurement known to man. 

Let me encourage you to know no matter how low we get, or what high we're experiencing, no matter how far away we go, or how wide the gap seems to be between God and us, the truth is His love is deeper, higher, longer and wider than anything that can ever happen to us and it'll find us and bring us close to Him, and wrap us up in His loving arms.

I hope you receive that today, so that you'd don't have to 'guess' or wonder, but know for certain 'how much He loves you'.

Have a great weekend everyone.
