My love stretches to the heavens and My faithfulness extends above the clouds.

Psalm 36:5 New International Version (NIV)

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the skies.

How great is the love of God? Just look up in the sky. How faithful is our Father? Keep looking up. Look past the clouds and into outer space. Find the most powerful telescope on the planet and keep looking. We will never find an end to the love of God and we will never exhaust His faithfulness. Ever.

The human brain cannot comprehend such a vast supply of God's goodness. That is why we need the power of His Spirit to grasp His love as Paul prayed in Ephesians 3:14-19...

14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

So today, I pray in agreement with the Apostle Paul's prayer, that our God and Father will give us the power to grasp the vastness of His immeasurable love and faithfulness that stretches to the heavens and beyond. May each one of us be rooted and grounded in His love for us so that we will never ever again struggle to believe that He really loves us.

May we declare with confidence that God's love stretches to the heavens and His faithfulness extends beyond the clouds.
