PROMISE #192 - JULY 11
Promise #192:
I have poured My love into your heart by My Spirit.
Romans 5:5 (WEB)
and hope doesn’t disappoint us,
because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
The photo of today's promise was taken at Niagara Falls. Since I live within 20 miles of this incredible natural wonder, I can quickly go there anytime. The water volumes that pass over the American and Horseshoe Falls are astounding. Day and night, the water continues to pour over the edge of this escarpment, crashing down on the rocks below. It simply never ends.
I chose this photo to illustrate the promise that God continues to pour His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that He has given us. His love for us is a rushing river of His goodness toward us that never ends. While this truth is more real than everything else around us, it is easy to struggle to comprehend the greatness of God's love for us. Words often fail to describe His love adequately.
That is why we need the help of the Holy Spirit. In Ephesians 3, Paul prays that we would be rooted and grounded in love and have the power to grasp how big and wide and high and deep His love for us in Jesus Christ is. Just as we could never count how many gallons of water are rushing over Niagara Falls every second, we cannot measure the love God is pouring into our hearts by any natural means.
We can only hope to fathom God's eternal, everlasting, never-ending love for us through the Holy Spirit, which He has given us. Today, why don't you ask God to give you the power to grasp the vastness of His love for you? Through His very own Spirit, He pours His love into our hearts 24 hours a day, just like the raging waters of Niagara Falls.
