High, Deep Passion for You
Read Psalms 36-39
Ps 36:5-6 Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. 6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep.

Ps 36:10 Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
ONE OF the most impossible things to know is the height and depth of God’s love. The psalmist tries to give us a picture of a love as high as the mountains, faithfulness even higher in the sky, and righteousness to the depths of the ocean.
We seldom consider such greatness in our God and put great limits on him. For example, “I did this nasty thing. Does he still love me?” “Where is God? I need a job?” “It’s really okay if we don’t tithe (There are things I need!)” “I don’t read his Word (It’s not for me.)”
David praises God’s mountaintop love, sky-high faithfulness and deep righteousness. A God such as this will stay with you when you walk away, give you strength when your faith weakens, and help you understand when you want answers.
When you trust God has a passion for you that goes from the cross to the tomb to the throne of Heaven, your heart for him will grow. And your big heart will trust him more deeply in all things.
Pause and Consider: a big heart has more room for God’s love.
