“Do you know that you cannot keep God from loving you? You can reject His love, but you cannot keep Him from loving you. … You can raise the umbrella of indifference or the umbrella of sin or the umbrella of rebellion so that you won’t experience God’s love, but you cannot keep Him from loving you.” ~J. Vernon McGee
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
~”The Love of God” by Frederick M. Lehman
