The Love of God

Happy Valentine's Day to all!! :) No, I did not wear the festive color of the day. There was not a stitch of red or pink on my person. However, I did not wear all black as many of my counterparts did. Hope you all had a terrific day. Okay, enough on that subject.

Thank you all for praying for me today as I had a dentist appointment. It went well. It cost a lot, but when are they ever cheap visits?! Thankfully, the problem wasn't serious and was fixed! Yay! :) Also, the dentist was the best I've ever been to! He was so gentle, I couldn't feel any of it! No pain. . . .it was terrific! The worst part was the hours following. Feeling as if half of your face is melting off your head is not the most pleasant of experiences. . . especially when you're trying to eat, but come to the startling realization that you're chewing on your own tongue, not your food. Hahaha. Yeah. . . I wondered why my food tasted a little metallic. Hahahahaha. Oh well. It's over now.

Nothing exciting really happened today other than that. . . . So I'm kind of at a loss for what to write about. I could tell you ever detail, if you wanted to be bored to tears, but I'll refrain.

OOOH! I know, I'll post the lyrics to the song that's been going through my head all week! Ready for this?!

 The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.

Refrain
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song.

When years of time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.

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.

Isn't that an incredible thought??? It's so encouraging to know that even when people stop loving me, God will always love me more than they ever did! That's my encouraging thought of the day. . . :)

I guess that's all for now. I'll post more later. If you think of it, I'd love for you all to comment with one or two things that you love about God or that He's been teaching you about Himself recently! That would be awesome!!
Ttyl! :)
