The Love of God

It is said that R.A. Torrey earnestly sought God’s face, and one day while he was reading the Scriptures and praying, he was so overwhelmed with a profound consciousness of God’s love for him that he began to weep and weep. Eventually he asked God to show him no more: he could not bear it.

In prayer, my friend had a vision of herself
In a shallow pool.

She asked for more.
An enormous ocean stood behind the pool.

My love is even greater than this ocean,
And you experience only this shallow pool.

And yet …
It is enough.
