Limitless LOVE

Psalm 103:11–12
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us

It amazes me that God actually loves us so much, even though we can fail him time and time again. Praise God that the riches of His mercy and love are from a well that is eternally deep.

We see in this Psalm , we see the Psalmist David wrestling with the idea of God's mercy towards those that fear God. He compares it to the great expanse of the heavens. Considering how much more we know about the heavens than what David would have known,it makes the magnanimity of this truth come ALIVE.

The very fact that that the Heaven are a limitless expanse; we are not even able to fully measure the extent of the universe even with our most modern technology, lies the hope that no matter what we have done, what transgressions we may have committed, we can come to God, because the extent of his mercy is so great. In fact it is so great than when we come to him, he removes our transgressions from us- as far as the east is from the west - that's limitless love.

Let the joy of this truth set your heart free today to know that you are loved not because of who your are but because of who God is, a God of limitless LOVE.
