“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Jeremiah 31:3
While cutting the grass yesterday – yes cutting the grass!- I listened to good old Pandora music. I heard so many great songs on the Petula Clark station that I curated. One of them was her classic “My Love”. When I was listening to the refrain lyrics, it occurred to me that this was a pretty good summary of how God loves us. Here are the words:
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
So, those of you of a certain age will not only read these words, you will sing them, because you can’t help yourself. Insert the idea that this is God’s song to you.
It will make your day…
Prayer: Lord, your love for us is just like that! Amen
