01-09-08 God's love -- Psalm 103:11
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him.
-- Psalm 103:11
There's something about a clear night sky. One Christmas Eve we visited my wife's brother in Ohio. It was terribly cold out, but we sat in his outside hot tub, the steam forming icicles in our hair, staring up at the sky. I remember feeling a sense of wonder as I thought about what I saw in the sky. There is simply no way to comprehend the distance between the stars, the size of our galaxy, the vast, vast expanse of space.
We can look at the sky, but we cannot comprehend it. And we can look at the love of God, but we cannot take it all in. God knows this. He knows that we have to become something that we were not in order to experience His love. That is why He chose to make us eternal sons and daughters of God.
If you don't feel loved by God, try jumping up and catching the nearest star. Then know that God will stoop down and pick you up in His eternal love.
Be encouraged!

- Evangelist Tom Stamman
"Quite some time ago, I used to ask God for an angel that could answer to all my questions. An angel for company and comfort. But not long ago, I started receiving your emails (Discoveries), honestly, I haven’t got a clue how or when did I sign up. The unthinkable is, every message you sent that I have read was exactly the answers I needed to face the situation at hand. Strange, right? But I really do think God answered my prayer. He sent me an angel through you. Your messages seem to be God’s words to me. Answering me, teaching me. I am grateful for this heavenly gift and I would like you to share this miracle I received from the Father."
"Your book is therapy for me . . . you have struck gold . . . there is "life" in your book. I found myself laughing and crying . . . I believe I saw what God must think of me ... "
"Thank you for sending these devotions everyday! They are awesome! Today's devotional was exactly what I have been thinking about and how to battle this such issue! Keep up your awesome ministry!"
"The first thing I do every morning when I turn on the computer is to read your encouraging message. You have blessed my heart and improved my daily meditation on the word of God. . . . I am writing this mail from Dar es salaam, Tanzania, East Africa."
"i really have to thank you for your encouraging words they almost make me feel as if there coming right from the lord himself"
"Dwight, i am originally from uganda, but i live and work in the UK. But i send the your inspirations almost across the globe. God bless your unselish heart."
