Still Calls Me Son

…But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. (Luke 15:20)

God’s Limitless Love

 

I think we all need a reminder once in a while about how great God’s love is for us.  His love is boundless.  It knows no limits.  It exceeds your every expectation.  His love is beyond measure.  It’s eternal!  His love for you is forgiving.  He loves you with an everlasting love.  A love that does not quit when you’re weak.  A love that does not diminish when your faith is wavering.  A love that does not let go.
