This is the greatest wonder of all. My Father loves me. And His love is not a blind love. He has seen all, knows all, has searched my sin to its very depth, and yet He loves me and has welcomed me to His outstretched arms and kissed me with a kiss that has reconciled me forever.
I had spent all in the unspeakable depravity of my sinful heart, but His love cannot be spent, nor can I ever pass out of the reach of it. As the heavens encompass the earth, so am I compassed about with that infinite love of God. There is my strength; my unfailing hope lies in that unfailing love. Yes, prodigal, you who have gone down lowest and spent all, this love abides, and abides for you. "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Wonder of wonders, my Father loves me!
