Far as high as the heavens

     are above the earth,

so great is His steadfast love

   toward those who fear Him;

as far as the east is from the west,

   so far does He remove

   our transgressions from us.

                 Psalm 103. 11-12

(Just in case we might not

     understand His love,

     His grace, or His forgiveness,

God does not just give us words

           or even His Word

    that we may know Him

           and what He is like.

But God unfolds to us each day

   the wonders of creation

and the utter beauty of the universe,

   from the intricacies of a tiny cell

to the vastness of the galaxies.)

O LORD,

You are so amazing

that we don't even have the words

             to describe You.

Thank You for loving us that much.

May we love You back today

   in all that we do and say,

in how we approach circumstances,

in how we navigate the clear waters

             and the storms,

in how we treat others,

     and in how we worship You

     in all these ways.

You are with us.

You hear us.  You see us.

      You love us.

And that changes everything.
