We would stand in absolute awe if we ever fully understood the depth of God’s everlasting love for us. He wrote one volume in two parts, containing 66 books to tell us His story. Within that story He outlined how He created us and everything around us, how He desired for us to live, how we fell short of His perfect plan and how He made us a way back to Him. And that is just the first few chapters. Ultimately, all the pictures He painted in the Old Testament were fulfilled in the New when He sent His one and only Son…

“that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

Hillsong said it well in their song I Stand in Awe of You…

You are beautiful beyond description
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful for comprehension
Like nothing ever seen or heard
Who can grasp you infinite wisdom
Who can fathom the depth of your love
You are beautiful beyond description
Majesty enthroned above

And I stand, I stand in awe of you
I stand, I stand in awe of you
Holy God to whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of you

Need I say more?
