While driving home from my office tonight I was enjoying the longer days, with more daylight left after working hours. Looking up into the sky I noticed streaks of clouds way up in the heavens, like the tails of lost kites. Behind the gray and white streaks, way beyond and much higher, the pink of the sky faded softly away into clear white.
It struck me that I was looking into infinity, way up there beyond the wispy clouds, past the sky. The sky looked bigger and deeper than I can remember noticing before, and the immensity of it was awesome and thrilling. A scripture from yesterday's Bible study popped into my head, and the thrill became shivers of delight.
"For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him." Psalm 103:11 (NIV)
Really, Lord? That's how big Your love for us really is? AMAZING LOVE!
In Jeremiah 31:3 God told His people, "I have loved you with an everlasting love." Love as big as the heavens, and without end. Love that wraps around us, holds us up, helps us out, provides for and protects us, knows us by heart and calls us by name. Love that sent His Son Jesus to die in our place. It's there for you. Have you claimed it for your own?
Love,
Deborah

Deborah - isn't God amazing! Yesterday when I was walking the dogs there was a rainbow. Part of it was just, well, normal rainbow. But one part of the curve of the rainbow was brilliant pink and violet and purple. And what I loved about this is that this is a "sign" from God. A real, tangible and beautiful reminder of his promise from long ago. And I got to see it today.
