Two young girls were standing on the deck of a ship early one morning. The older said to the younger, “Isn’t it a beautiful day? And look at the horizon, how beautiful it is.”
The younger girl looked at her with a bit of puzzlement on her face and asked, “What is a horizon?”
The older girl pointed off into the distance and said, “See there where the sea rises up to meet the sky, and where the sky drops down to meet the sea—that’s a horizon. And when you get there it will not be there any more. It will be gone, and there will be another and another and another because the horizon is always farther on.”
That’s the way God’s love is. Just about the time you think you have exhausted it, that you have reached its limits, you discover that there is more of it yet available.
