A quote from one of today’s devotionals reads: “This vast ocean of God’s Love cannot be measured or explained, but it can be experienced.” When I read this I had to stop and ponder/reflect. I thought to myself that truer words have never been spoken or written.

Man so wants to take God’s Love and put his own description of what it should look like built on man’s desires or wishes. I wanted God’s Love to obliterate my memories of my past thinking that this would be God’s perfect way of showing me He loved me. Little did I ever think He was wanting me to surrender this past to Him so He could use it for His purposes. This would be an expression of His Love. Every counseling day I get to experience glimpses of God’s Love. These glimpses often include what I kept as secrets so much of my life. Today God uses these secrets as ingredients for one’s stepping out of their own bondage. It plants seeds of faith/hope for others and it nurtures gratitude within me. And, someday, God will use their story to help another.

In my limited, human resources I am unable to put words to this vast Love of God. However, I can and will do my best to express the depth of gratitude I have for this Love that I get to experience each and every day. God is LOVE!
