How Deep?

As I count down the weeks until I leave, the word LOVE continues to jump out at me. I am awestruck by Romans 12:9-10: "Don't just pretend to LOVE others. Really LOVE them... LOVE each other with genuine affection and take delight in honoring each other."

Over the past year, the Father has started to take me to an even deeper level of love and compassion for people. He has told me to "love others. Love them with your whole being as I love you." I have had glimpses of this deeper level of love and the joy that it brings, but I am still in awe of it.

As humans, we will never fully grasp or measure just how deep the Father's love is for us and how He desires for us to love others with this depth of love as well. When I try to imagine the Father's love, I picture myself standing at the edge of a cliff, looking down at the ocean. The waves crashing against the cliff are a hue of blue and green mixed. As I gaze out at the horizon, the water's color begins to change to a deep indigo blue. It is there that the water reaches its deepest point, but just how deep?

The deepest recorded part of the ocean is 35,797 feet. To date, less than five percent of the sea has been explored, which says that there are depths more profound than the Mariana Trench. These depths will probably never be measured by man, just like we will never be able to measure the depth of the Father's love for us. But once you experience this depth, once you get a glimpse of this beautiful, selfless love, you are never the same. It's something you thirst for, something that you long for because you want others to experience it too, and you cannot help but share it. I pray that you find yourself saturated in the Father's love today and every day…
