Incalculable Affection
Psalm 139:17-18: How precious are Your thoughts toward me, O God! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake I am still with You.

o We will see our very names written in the scars on His hands and His feet
· No human love comes close to His love.

o Fall more in love with Jesus and
o I guarantee His love in you will draw them closer to you. Because
o God’ love is irresistible.
