WRITING GODS LOVE IN THE SKY

   Posted by: mpier   in Uncategorized

Reading always inspires me to blog. Here is something I read today that just spoke volumes to me.

“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,

          Tho stretched from sky to sky.”

Now that’s good stuff. Read it a couple times and just think about the oceans being filled with ink. Anyone recognize this quote? What great man or woman of God could have written such a profound verse that so eloquently describes the love of God in such a way that our minds can just begin to grasp its depth?

Actually these words were found scratched on the wall of an insane asylum in California in 1917.

I suppose I could go on and on about the love of God right now but I could not hold a candle to the power I see in the words above. I am challenging myself to pour out more of His love this week. Take the challenge with me if you dare! Here’s some faces of those I hope saw Jesus in me this week.
