How Deep

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 

~Rom 8:35-39~



How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure,
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.

~Stuart Townend~

Of Love and Sacrifice

"Greater love has no man than this,

that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you."

~John 15:13~

It is impossible to love deeply

without sacrifice.

~Elisabeth Eliot~

Commended Love

"But God commendeth his love toward us,

in that, while we were yet sinners,

Christ died for us."

~Romans 5:8~

I am not what I ought to be,

I am not what I wish to be,

I am not what I hope to be;

but, by the grace of God,

I am not what I was.

~John Newton~

Amazing Grace

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,

but have everlasting life. For God sent not

 his Son into the world to condemn the world;

but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned:

but he that believeth not is condemned already,

because he hath not believed in the name

of the only begotten Son of God."

~John 3:16-18~

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind but now I see.

~John Newton~

An Everlasting Love

“The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying,

 Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:

therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

~Jeremiah 31:3~

At the heart and foundation of all God’s dealings

with us, however dark and mysterious they may be,

we must dare to believe in and assert the infinite,

unmerited, and unchanging love of God.
