The love of God

There is a little passage in the Scriptures that simply says that the love of God surpasses knowledge. Eph 3:19. Lately, I have had an overwhelming sense of the love of God. I have remembered an incident from my childhood in Mackay when I had to go about seven kilometres to soccer training. I was very proud of myself because I rode my bike all the way there and all the way back.

Years later, after I had been married a year or two, I was recounting to my mother what a capable young fellow I must have been to have ridden my bike to soccer at only six or seven years of age. I was deflated enormously when she informed me that she had driven the car about one hundred metres behind me all the way there. She had parked the car and watched the soccer practice and then followed me home at a distance. I remember thinking at the time, ‘That is what love is’. My mother’s total preoccupation was my safety and welfare.

We do not always know that God is there. In many of the preoccupations of our lives, we are not always aware of His love. But Paul said that Jesus Christ forever lives to make intercession for us. Heb 7:25. Whenever I think of the word ‘interceding’ I think of ‘intervening’. I remember my experience as a child. My mother was intervening but not in a combative or direct way. She was there on hand should anything go wrong.

In his letter to the Romans, Paul said that he was convinced that nothing could separate us from the love of God; not tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril or sword. Rom 8:35. We also need to be convinced that nothing will separate us from His love. We need to be confident that nothing can touch us in life unless He allows it. We have travelled very different paths. But the love of God has been watching over us from the beginning and will continue to the end.
