Vast

Oh how vast is the love of Christ! Inexpressible, uncontainable, overwhelming! Without that love failure, but through that grace we can rise! Out of the depths of despair and sorrow, soar through the clouds of tomorrow. Onward and upward ever closer, to the Lover of our souls. "Further up and further in" is the bellowing cry of my soul. How shall I overcome, though the thunder clouds roil? Through the love of a little lamb, whose blood full atonement makes. But this sacrifice nere would occur, if not for the vast love of Christ.


You may take that as you wish. It kinda was meant as a poem/offering of praise. I attended a David Crowder concert this evening, and though raucous at times, I was really blessed with the continual presentation of that theme. Yes, there is judgment mixed with love, but if not for Christs' love, He wouldn't have even bothered coming to earth. And though not a fuzzy feel good gospel, if we can't celebrate the true and pure love that Jesus Christ exhibited, what are we left with?

Lam. 3:22 says, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases..." I'm basking in that love tonight, and am finding the words of the hymn "Turn your eyes upon Jesus" to be oh, so true. "And the things of this world will grow strangely dim" when we turn our eyes upon Him.
