Monday Missive #10

God’s Immense Love

A Poem:The Tunnel

 There is a tunnel under life,
A tunnel deep and dark,
A tunnel deceitful and dangerous.
A tunnel that we fall into
Much too often.
Where thoughts spoil,
Where words kill,
Where actions hurt.
Where light is low.

Falling is easy!
A simple step
Into the Fallingness
Of long ago.
Living in my soul.

Escaping is easy too!
If pride is destroyed,
If selfishness is left behind,
If the Father is sought,
Forgiveness accepted,
His love embraced.

A Prayer: God’s Immense Love

I praise you, O Great Three in One!
Father, who sent forth the Son.
Jesus who died on the tree.
Spirit who reveals truth.
I cannot comprehend your love for me.
I know it, yet I cannot fully know it.
I experience it, yet not completely.
I feel it, but only as a shadow.
Oh, Lover of My Soul,
Show me the depth, the breadth, the height
Of your immense love for me,
That I may praise you even more.

A Passage: To reflect on this week

And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. - Ephesians 3:18-19a NLT
