Song: Your Love O Lord... reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness stretches to the sky...
I really like the group Third Day and this song. Looking forward to it being sung in worship this Sunday at church.
I remember several years ago somewhat humorous instances which oddly remind me of God's love. Once at a Centrifuge camp in the adult Bible study time we were divided into small groups and our task was to take the song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and relate it to God's love. It turned out to be a silly trans-obliteration of the song loosely based on the scripture text from Romans 8:39: "nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Another instance called to attention that I tend to overuse similes when I speak/teach. One of the students was sharing in a small group time at camp and went into a tirade of "It's like God's love..." and "God's love is like..." - you can complete in the ellipses with any number of illustrations whether logical or not. I love student ministry! Funny, how the strangest things can remind us of God's love. It is amazing and His faithfulness is everlasting.
Another song: Great Is Thy Faithfulness... O God, my Father. There is no shadow of turning with Thee. Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not. As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.
Job 19:25: For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
I personally can't get enough of the similies you use :) and analogies, and metaphors...ha ha...Great post!
