Psalm 103:11 NLT
For His unfailing love toward those who fear Him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
Psalm 103:11 TPT
Higher than the highest heavens- that's how high Your tender mercy extends! Greater than the grandeur of heaven above is the greatness of Your loyal love, towering over all who fear You and bow down before You!
Psalm 103:11 NKJV
For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
Psalm 103:11 AMPC
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him.
Psalm 103:11 NIV
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is HIS love for those who fear HIM;
As time goes by astronomers discover more and more about the incredible vastness of the cosmos, some even speculate that is enlarging - there is no end to it - imagine that!
God's Word compares that vastness with the extent of the Father's love toward His children.
When Jesus told the Parable of the Prodigal son, He wanted to define and demonstrate the Father heart of God in ways people could understand.
He pictured that father daily watching for his wayward, estranged son. A son that had wanted to get his independence and have nothing more to do with him. Someone who had squandered all the inheritance on worthless, debauched living.
Surely that father would have given up on him, wouldn't he?
But, no, he ran to meet his rebellious, now repentant son.
He threw a hugely extravagant party to celebrate.
That son deserved nothing, but received everything.
We're in the same boat as that wayward son, but, when we "come to our senses", God runs to meet us and restore us to His family.
He can do this because of the Cross.
Romans 5:8 AMPC
But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
So how much does God love you and me?
He love us "this" much....
Never doubt it!
