The scripture declares time and again, of God's endless love, grace, and mercy for us. It is infinite; meaning it can't be measured or calculated ,meaning it will go on forever and ever and ever and...you get the point. When you think about infinity in mathematical terms, it can't be counted. Think of the highest number you can count to, or the highest one named (googolplex), you can still count one higher than that. And this number, that's one higher than the largest one that can be counted ,you can even count one higher. And this goes on and on...and on. You will never reach the end of infinity.
Now let's think of God's INFINITE love. If you ever thought you reached the end of His love, or somehow reached the limits of His grace, THINK AGAIN!
Romans 5:20- ...but where sin increased, grace increased all the more.
Psalm 36:5- Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
1 Chronicles 16:34- Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever!
Psalm 85:5- For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.
Jeremiah 31:5- I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love.
Psalm 103:17- The love of the Lord remains FOREVER.
Ephesians 3:16-19- I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through His spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 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, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge.
Think about His amazing love! So amazing that it is beyond our human understanding. An all powerful, all knowing, all seeing God, who speaks galaxies into existence, looks down on lowly unfaithful man; and yet still pours out His loving kindness daily.
His love can't be bounded, His grace outdone, His mercy outran. Its this reckless, crazy love that is our greatest hope.
