It has been the day of limits. Trying to pay my hospital bill I was told there was a limit to the amount I could pay at a time from my HSA account. Just a few hours later I was told there was a limit on the amount I could withdraw from my checking account. My grocery coupons all said “limit 2” or if it was a really special deal, “limit 4.” And just minutes ago I returned from rushing our video rentals back to the store before the limit of how long we could keep them ran out, on the way back from which I saw a policeman pull someone over for exceeding the speed limit. Limits, limits, everywhere I turn.
In a world of so many limits it is hard to imagine the limitless. Yet I am reminded, the more limits I encounter, of how limitless our GOD is. He exists everywhere without limit. She desires for us goodness without limit. He guards and guides without limit. And She loves us without limit!
Twice today I was brought to tears while playing with my son, realizing how beautiful and miraculous he is and how much I love him. And yet this love is only a fraction of the love that our creative GOD has for us – a love without limits. Today, despite all those that surrounded me, I am grateful for no limits!!!
"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.”
("The Love of God,” by Frederick M. Lehman, 1917)
