"Before we had a being in the world we had a being in His heart. When we were enemies to Him, He knew us, our misery, our madness, and our wickedness. When we wept bitterly in despairing repentance, and viewed Him only as a judge and a ruler, He viewed us as His brethren well beloved...He never mistook His chosen, but always beheld them as objects of His infinite affection. 'The Lord knows them that are His' is as true of the prodigals who are feeding swine as of the children who sit at the table."
(Charles Spurgeon)
How true that God's love for us is farther reaching than any obstacle in this world.
"...neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
(Romans 8:38-39)
But what is even more unimaginable is how much farther His love reaches.
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
(Romans 5:8)
