Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Have you ever stood on the edge of the seashore, held your arms wide open and marveled at the great expanse of the ocean? Have you ever considered just how small you are in comparison to it all? It is the God of the universe who holds all you see beyond the horizon, past the setting sun, and deeper than the unseen before you. Isaiah 40:12 says, "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand..."

If you are feeling small and helpless today, there is a comfort for you in this. When Jesus was on earth, he spoke a word of encouragement for all who felt that they were simply ?one of a large crowd'. Luke 12:7, "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered." While He holds all we see in creation, He cares about YOU specifically enough to know the number of hairs on your head. God loves us enough to call us by name.

At Love INC, the hope of our mission is that the one who is feeling smallest in our community would know that he or she has a name- that he or she is loved?not just by the community, but by the God of the universe who knows the very number of hairs on his or her head. Is there someone you know you could love on today? Perhaps pull them onto their feet and show them the mighty expanse of the ocean or the greatness of the mountains. Maybe they need to tangibly experience the vastness of God's great love for them today through you.

Love in the Name of Christ
