Love Written Across the Skies

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

            This profoundly beautiful verse paints an extravagant picture of love. Stop and consider what these words actually say. They say that God’s love for His people is deeper than the deepest ocean and wider than the widest sky. They say there is no way, even if we dedicated our entire lives to it, that we could express the fullness of God’s love to others.

            On this day, Valentines Day, many people feel their lack of love because they do not have a spouse, boyfriend, family or other loved one with which to share it. Some people, myself included, have taken to writing L-O-V-E on their arms to remind them to pray for people who struggle with depression because of the emphasis of the day. Join us and pray that people who struggle with depression will experience the freedom and power of God’s love. Share the love of God to someone in need of it.
