God’s love is so
infinite it can be very hard to grasp sometimes. I came across this video
recently and it moved me to tears. Maybe you’ve heard the story about the man and
his son. The son has severe cerebral palsy
and because of this he is also a quadriplegic and cannot talk. Using advanced technology, the doctors hooked
up his brain to a computer, and he was able to express to his father that his
dream was to compete in marathons.
Because his father loves him so much, he made his son’s dreams come true
by pushing him in a wheelchair, running behind him, in over 60 marathons and
races and still continues to do so. The
son’s ultimate dream was to complete in an iron man competition, so of course
the father trained for this as well. He pulled him in an inflatable boat while
swimming, pushed him in a cart while biking, and pushed him in his wheel chair
while running. This is an ultimate kind
of love, but doesn’t even begin to compare to God’s love for us.
God is like the
father in the story in a lot of ways. He
pulls us along when we need encouragement, He carries us when we can’t carry on
ourselves, and He pushes us to new limits so we can trust in Him. He does this for us not because we deserve
what He has done, but because He loves us to such a degree that we can’t even
comprehend. Let’s remind ourselves of
God’s infinite love every day.
"I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me!"
