His love is much deeper!
We love Him because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
Nansen, the Norwegian explorer, tried to measure an extremely deep part of the Arctic ocean. The first day, he used the longest measuring line but couldn't reach bottom. He wrote in his log book, "The ocean is deeper than that!" The next day, he added more line but still could not measure the depth, and so again...he wrote, "Deeper than that!" After several days of adding more and more pieces of rope and cord to his line,...all he knew was that it was beyond his ability to measure.
So too, we cannot plumb the depths of God's love... Both now and forever,...we may well exclaim, "It's deeper--much deeper than that!"
