Todays Devotional: Limitless Love Psalm 36:5- Your mercy, O Lord, is the heaven; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Recently, a friend sent me the history of a hymn that I often heard in church when I was a boy: 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 through stretched from sky to sky. These words are part of an ancient Jewish poem and were once found on the wall of a patients room in an insane asylum. Also, Fredrick M. Lehman was so moved by the poem that he desired to expand on it. In 1917, while seated on a lemon box during his lunch break from his job as a laborer, he added the words of the first two stanzas and the chorus, completing the son The Love of God. The psalmist describes the comforting assurance of Gods love in Psalm 36: Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens. Regardless of the circumstances of life whether in a moment of sanity in a mind otherwise muddles with confusion or during a dark time of trail Gods love is a deacon of hope, our every present, inexhaustible source of strength and confidence. You are loved with everlasting love.
