The Father’s love is like no other.
His love goes deeper than the greatest trenches of the seas, and further than the universe extends. His love surpasses time and space. A love like nothing we could fathom, His grace pours down upon moments after moments.
The Lord’s love reaches into history and propels into the future. His love comforts the ailing people and wipes away the sorrow from those who grieve. A love unattainable by the masses to give, His promises remain faithful.
Our Father’s love undeniably has gone so far that it has reached into the grave and resurrected the dead in sin. His love brought life as He sacrificed His very own on a tree while we scoffed and mocked in our doubts.
His death shown true love deeper than any internal conscious effort for us to stir up to the surface of our beings. We can try to perceive it when we look at our bridegroom’s face or hold our new-born child. We can try to grasp it in service or attitudes. Trying our best, we can mimic it to a point. But the depth of death and resurrection, that’s a special love that is indescribable.
His love goes deeper than the greatest trenches of the seas, and further than the universe extends. His love surpasses time and space. Click To TweetAnd 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—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:17-19 NIV
Oh, Lord, to have knowledge of this love so deep and to be able to share this truth should be my mission. I pray I do well and finish that race you set before me. I ask for this love to shine through me as I accomplish your will. Lord, you have paid my debts, you have given me life, and all you ask of me is to believe. Lord, I believe with my life, my actions, with all my joy and in all hope. Thank you, Lord, for this magnificent love that you have bestowed upon your people. Thank you for calling me your child. In your precious name, Amen.
“The Lord’s love reaches into history and propels into the future.” we too often fail to realize this truth
Ohmygosh … this is one of my favorite posts that I’ve read this year! To focus on His love is my favorite thing to do, and it overwhelms me everytime!! TY so much for your heart to share His love!! ❤
Thank you, Donna. I need to always remember to focus on his love.
I love that passage from Ephesians. Thank you for including it. FMF17
When I take the time to analyze my self and my actions, that’s when I realize how big and deep and wide God’s love is for me!
Thank you for this reminder – we tend to forget these depths that surround and hold us!
This is beautiful, Maryann.
I think the closest we can get to seeing God’s love in people is in guys like Michael Monsoor, who threw himself onto a grenade on an Iraqi rooftop to save two other Seals…when he had the chance to save himself by diving down a stairwell.

Thank you for sharing, Andrew. I always think of military service members to sacrifice so much for others. Jesus left them a fine example to follow, and many of them do.
