Limits

Verse of the Day:
Ephesians 3:19


...and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.


There are limits to so many things in our lives. In school, we can only learn so much before we have read an entire textbook or taken every test we can take. In sports, there is a limit reached when it is not physically possible to get any better. When we eat, there is a limited amount that our bodies can handle before we explode. You get the picture. We live in world where things are very limited. But in the midst of all of that, we are gifted with something that is NOT LIMITED! Can you guess what it is?!


It's God's love. He loves us. An unlimited amount. Even in our relationships with God, there is not a point that we will ever reach in our lives where we can say that we have a perfect relationship with God. There is not a limit to how much we can love HIM, just like there is not a limit as to how much he loves US. When you think about it, it's pretty exciting. We have a limitless horizon when it comes to getting to know God. No matter what we do, God's love to us has no limit. What do you think about that?


The Simple Truth: Life has a lot of limits, but God's love doesn't have a limit.


Pray: 


Lord, help me to realize that when I am restricted by all of the limits I face each day, I know I can count on  You to love me an extreme amount. Help me to get closer to You each and every day.


Let your light shine.
-Lo
