About the surrounding love of God:

1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (NIV)

We are often left alone in our life. Many times we are left alone without our consent. Many times we are left alone in life and although we are adults, we are helpless to do anything about being left alone.

We are often left exposed in our life. We are often left open to attacks and embarrassments without our consent�often without our causing the attacks and embarrassments.

We are often left hurting in our life. Because of life being what life is, because of people being who they are, and because of factors beyond our control, we are left hurting without any resources to deal with the hurt.

However, the love of God wraps around you. The love of God surrounds you. When all is bleak, the love of God surrounding you this minute brings hope. When all is lost, the love of God surrounds you and brings you home so you can exclaim you have been found. When all of your life is full of pain, the surrounding love of God brings ease and comfort.

The surrounding love of God does not just wrap around you, the love of God soaks into you. There is then a new day, a new time, a new promise, and a new vision of what shall be in all of your tomorrows.
