| THE LIGHT OF GOD'S LOVE |

104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, thou art very great! Thou art clothed with honor and majesty, 104:2 who coverest thyself with light as with a garment, who hast stretched out the heavens like a tent, 104:3 who hast laid the beams of thy chambers on the waters, who makest the clouds thy chariot, who ridest on the wings of the wind, 104:4 who makest the winds thy messengers, fire and flame thy ministers. 104:5 Thou didst set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be shaken. God's love did not begin at Calvary. Before the morning stars sang together, before the world was baptized with the first light, before the first blades of tender grass peeped out, God was love.
Turn back to the unwritten pages of countless eons before God spoke this present earth into existence, when the earth was "without form and void" and the deep, silent darkness of space stood in stark contrast to the brilliance of God's glory and His cherubim and seraphim.
Even then, God was love. Before the worlds were created, He knew all about us and the need we would have some day for Christ to die for us. So in His love "he chose us in him before the creation of the world" (Eph. 1:4, NIV). God does not change--and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born..He loves you now..and He will love you forever.
Will you love Him in return? Billy Graham
