Loving God With Excellence

Wednesday Afternoon Devotion:
God's Limitless Bounty
[Elder Michael White]
Theme:
The Bounty of Immeasurable Love (The Cornerstone), focuses on the greatest gift of God's generosity: His radical, unearned love and forgiveness found in Christ.
Connecting Scripture
> Romans 5:8 (KJV): "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
> Ephesians 2:4-5 (KJV): "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)"
> The Rhythm Of Spoken Word:
"The Price and the Gift"
> The Bounty I chase, I often mistake,
> for the harvest, the comfort, the blessing I take.
> But the genesis moment, the source of the flow,
> is the Cross where His limitless generosity shows.
> Not a trinket, not a title, not gold in the hand,
> but the price of redemption across every land.
> We were debtors, adrift, in a state of great lack,
> when the Lord of the heavens refused to turn back.
> He traded His glory for splinter and nail,
> He gave up His Spirit—an unbreaking veil.
> So today, let me pause from the worries and striving,
> and rest in the truth of what grace is reviving.
> The greatest of bounties? It's not what I earn,
> it's the love that forgives when I stumble and burn.
> The Immeasurable love, a gift freely passed,
> a foundation of grace that is built to forever last.
Wednesday Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pause this afternoon to be awed by the sheer bounty of Your love. Your Word reminds us that while we were still failing, You gave everything.
Forgive us for the times we treat this gift as common or forget the immense price paid. Open our hearts to accept the lavish, non-contingent love poured out for us through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Amen.
