The love of God is a force beyond human comprehension. It stretches beyond the highest heavens, deeper than the ocean’s abyss, wider than the horizon we can see. It is limitless, boundless, and eternal. Robert Lowry’s hymn “The Love of God” reminds us that even if the sky were a scroll and the seas filled with ink, we could never fully capture the vastness of God’s love. This truth should stir us—not to despair at our inability to grasp it, but to rejoice in the endless grace that surrounds us.

Such love is not passive or distant. It is a love that pursues, restores, and redeems. From the pages of Scripture to the evidence in our daily lives, God’s love is active, reaching into our brokenness and lifting us up. Consider how this love transformed lives throughout history—how it turned sorrow into joy, fear into peace, and separation into reconciliation. This is the love that Christ demonstrated on the cross, the love that holds us even when we falter.

Yet, we often struggle to accept such profound love. We question whether we are worthy, whether we have done enough, whether our past mistakes disqualify us. But God’s love is not measured by our actions; it is given freely, with no conditions, no limits.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39

When we allow ourselves to embrace it, we find rest, purpose, and the assurance that His love is forever.

“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.”

This vivid depiction reminds us that God’s love is beyond human comprehension. It overflows, unable to be contained or fully expressed in words
