God loves us more than we could ever know

For the Love of God is broader, than the measure of our mind, and the heart of the Eternal, is most wonderfully kind. Souls of men, why will ye scatter, like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will ye wander, from a love so true and deep? If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word, and our lives would all be sunshine, in the sweetness of the Lord. But we make his love too narrow, by false limits of our own, and we magnify his strictness, with a zeal he will not own. Was there ever a kinder shepherd, half so gentle, half so sweet, as the Savior who would have us? Come, and gather at his feet, for our Father’s love and his fondness, goes far out beyond our dreams.” Praise the Lord!
