Overwhelmed by His Love

My heart, at this moment, is full of wonder and amazement of God's love. I do not understand it, but oh, how thankful I am that he chooses to pour out his perfect love upon us. Who is this God that we serve that he would send his one and only precious and beautiful son to rescue us? Who is he that gives us the cold and barren Winter and the stifling heat of Summer, knowing that this will increase our appreciation in the warmth and newness of Spring beauty and the cool breeze and blazing colors of Autumn?

I see before me the beauty he has created, and I wonder how much more has he waiting for us in eternity? What beauty is there that we can not even dream of it? Here, I listen to the melodic sounds of the singing birds, the rustling tree leaves and the sweet sound of children's laughter. What will be eternity's opus? Here, as the wind is blowing, I close my eyes and feel its cool excitment on my face and smell the fragrance of the coming spring air. How much sweeter will be the fragrance of heaven? Here, I see the flowers which were soundly slumbering in the cold, harsh winter ground beginning to emerge, ready to proclaim the beauty and splendor of their creator. How will we ever be able to proclaim the magnitude of his beauty?

Oh, why have you chosen to be kind to me? I am truly amazed and forever grateful. These are such silly words for they can never truly proclaim what is in my heart. How I wish and pray that all might know this kind of love. It is a love that can never be measured; infinite and eternal.
