Though I often said with my lips that God’s love is wide and deep, I could not truly grasp it, for it is invisible to the eye. One day, while reading the Bible, I found a verse that allowed me to measure, in part, the size of God’s love:
“God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” 1 Ti 2:4
We are sinners who, because of the sins we committed in heaven, were sentenced to death (Ro 6:23). Yet God desires that even such sinners be saved. That is why He Himself put on the clothes of the flesh and came to this earth, enduring hardship, pain, and humiliation.
How great must God’s love be—that even though we caused Him unforgettable sorrow, He forgives us and wishes only for our souls to live! Such immense love cannot be contained in the vast sea or even in the boundless universe.
I give heartfelt thanks for being allowed to understand, even a little, the great love of Heavenly Father and Mother. Following the will of God, who desires all people to come to salvation, I will become a child who spreads the gospel of life to all nations.
