Aug 20.99: Light For The Day - "How Much Does God love you?" 

"For God so loved the world that he gave
his only Son, that whoever believes in him
should not perish but have eternal life."
-- John 3:16 (RSV)

--------------------
"How Much Does God love you?" 

Do you ever look up
to see the stars at night?
Have you tried to count them all
or imagine their number,
feeling small and insignificant
and overwhelmed at the sight?

Do you ever try to picture
the hand that put
each star in its place,
that knows their number,
and -- more important --
knows that you are looking up
to see the vastness
of His universe?
He sees your face,
hears your thoughts,
and reads your heart.

God loves you more than
all the stars in heaven.
There's an endless amount of love
that He is always sending you,
and His love is there to cover
every moment of your life.

-- Barbara J. Hall

"May Your constant love be with us, LORD,
as we put our hope in You."
-- Psalms 33:22 (TEV)
