You cannot delve too deeply into the unfathomable abundance of God's love and mercy; His compassion and great kindnesses are beyond our words to describe. He has prepared a table for us and invited us, as His children, to dwell in His light and joy, surrounded by a love so deep we cannot even fully conceive of it. In our frail forms, we can only bear the lightest taste and glimpse of what He has bestowed upon us, yet even that mere hint leaves us awestruck, overwhelmed and immersed in adoration.
It makes me wonder why more of the people who claim His name do not feast on that which is given to us, but instead would rather would grapple for the crumbs which the world offers; greed, anger, hatred and condemnation. Why some would turn from the dazzling radiance to grasp instead tawdry pleasures, to exchange joy for bitter dregs, and wisdom for gossip is beyond what I can comprehend. There is so much more to be had, so much more that is freely given unto us...
Why settle for crumbs when a feast awaits?
