A few years ago, we had the opportunity to visit Niagara Falls. Niagara River flows at approx 56.3 km per hour, and an amazing 168,000 cubic metres of water goes over the falls every minute from 54 metres high.
There is no doubt the Falls are a demonstration of the power of creation and of God who created them.
I think everyone wants deep down to know a kind of love that remains, that overcomes and is unsinkable and constant, which is perhaps why the Canadian side of Niagara Falls is known as the honeymoon capital of the world.
It's a spectacular sight and an illustration of God's power, as the Bible often uses water analogies to explain God's love, strength, and character. God says that "many waters and floods can't drown out His love for us, and that "when we pass through the waters, He will be with us; and that the rivers, will not overflow us." (Song of Solomon 8:7; Isaiah 43:2)
God want us to know we are not alone, regardless of the problems or the "noise" of life that can surround and swirl around us.
He promises that His love and care for us will never cease, be drowned out or washed away and that nothing can separate us from His love. Not death, angels, demons, our fears for today or our worries about tomorrow – not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or the earth below – indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God.(Romans 8:38-39 NLT)
God loves you, and if you ask, He will make your heart so full of that love you'll be able to understand a little more each day just how great His love is for you. As you grasp it, you'll start to see how much is possible and available to you when you're loved by the God who created the Universe; He is for you and not against you and on your side. You'll also be able to love those around you better. His love working in and through us never fails. (1 John 3:1; 1 Corinthians 13:8)
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your love for me; nothing I can say or do can take it away. Please help me experience and know your love in a real way today. In Jesus' name Amen
