AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:11-12, NIV

Can you wrap your mind around these verses? God loves beyond the scope of our understanding! He has removed our sins further than east is from the west. Have you tried to imagine how far the east is from the west? If you start at one end, you can never reach the other. If you try to go as high as the Heavens are above the earth, you will never reach the end. He is vastness and intricacy. He is beyond our ability to comprehend, yet He promises to love us and even gives us the opportunity to pray. Let us give Him thanks today for His ever-abounding gifts. 

Father, thank You for the way You are so beyond what I can comprehend, yet You still want me. I praise You for your great love and forgiveness, and choose to walk in the reality that my sins are now removed from me. Amen.
