The Mariana Trench is 1,580 miles long and at one point called the Challenger Deep reaches down 35,768 ft.

That is the deepest known point of the ocean. It was on Sunday that my thoughts took a turn towards the vast  H2O that takes up most of our Earth’s surface.

In church we sang Matt Redman’s ” You Alone Can Rescue”  One part of the songs says

“Who, oh Lord, could save themselves,
Their own soul could heal?
Our shame was deeper than the sea
Your grace is deeper still”

It was the perfect picture of God’s love.  It goes further than our minds can even fathom.

What’s more it is not a pathetic ‘hugs and kisses’ love purely sentimental. It is passionate and all consuming.

It is because of His love that He sent His Son to the cross. I too often forget all of this .

Thank You Lord for your Love!
