For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heaven’s above the earth. -Psalm 103:12(NLT)
AS GREAT AS THE HEIGHT OF THE HEAVEN
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you ever been loved so much unconditionally?
There is no greater than a love that lasts infinitely
Your heavenly Father values you as a prized possession
Are you able to reciprocate his great devotion?
God’s unfailing love to those who revere him
It is as great as the height of the heaven
He has proven his love through the sacrifice of Jesus
Why do you doubt that you are valued and precious?
________________________________________
The word “doubt” is derived from Latin dubitare or dubius from which we get “dubious.”
Doubt is defined as unbelief, rejection, denial, agnosticism, faithlessness, reservation, skeptical, questioning, wavering, indeterminate. If we go back in Genesis, we will be reminded that the first sin was to instill doubt in Eve’s mind about the character of God. Genesis 3:1 tells us that the serpent asked this question to Eve to make her doubt God: “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” This question made Eve start getting dubious. She now couldn’t obey God without question. She started to waver in her loyalty. The bible tells us how much we are loved by God and that his love is as great as the heavens. So, why do we usually tend to doubt instead of believe?

He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. -Psalm 103:12 (NLT)
AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you done something wrong in your life?
Don’t live in guilt, allow God to bring you into his light
If you confess your sin, ask forgiveness and repent
He will forgive you then you’ll never again be bent.
He has removed your sins as far as east is from the west
When God forgave you, you will be renewed and be blessed
Though your past sins are as black as night
He can change it to make you as pure as white.

According to Wikipedia, Eratosthenes of Cyrene is best known for being the first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth, which he did by applying a measuring system using stadia, which was a standard unit of measure during that time period. His calculation was remarkably accurate. Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth without leaving Egypt. Using a gnomon, he measured the Sun’s angle of elevation at noon on the solstice in Alexandria, and found it to be 1/50th of a circle circumference. Great genius of a man is he. The bible says that God removes our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. Based on Eratosthenes calculation, you now have a concept how much God forgives.
PRAYER
Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace.
REFLECTION
How far have you departed from your past sins? What brought you that far?
