God's love is meteoric

God's love is meteoric,
his loyalty astronomic,
his purpose titanic,
his verdicts oceanic.
Yet in his largeness
nothing gets lost;
Not a man, not a mouse,
slips through the cracks.

Ok, so this is the Message version - but read the words. The words are amazing. They are words of God. The Bible is lots of books written by authours who believed they were writing straight from the heart of God. Those booked were compliled into one big book by people who believed they were doing the will of God. This is a big deal. These words are for you. From God. From Psalm 36.

You might feel that it doesn't matter what you believe. Or care what is in your heart. Or want to think about how a speck of life such as one person is important to a God you might not be able to see, or hear, or feel.

For those moments of doubt, these words were written for you. To read, to know.

Learning bible verses might seem like the stuff of deranged Sunday School teachers but there is beauty in knowing something without thinking. You know your way to someplace like the supermarket, or to where a good friend lives without needing a map or even thinking much about it - and sometimes, when get somewhere we know really, really well - we get there without remembering the whole journey even though we drove or walked or biked there. Our brain and body sort of carries on without us! When we know a bible verse, really know it well - it stays there, and then when we are broken, stuck in a confusing place - or even worse, a dark place - without really thinking about it, that verse can come to us and give us an anchor, something to cling to or be something to reassure us, or remind us of what we believe. We have to LEARN it though. It doesn't get in by osmosis. We have to engrave it on our hearts by learning and understanding it, so that when we are on a journey and need some help, those words written from the heart of God lift our own heart.
