Psalm 36:5-6

God’s love is meteoric, God’s loyalty astronomic,God’s purpose titanic, God’s verdicts oceanic.Yet in this largeness nothing gets lost;Not a person, not a mouse, slips through the cracks.

God’s intergalactic sweep contrasts with the quiet pace of Jesus coming alongside his broken-hearted brothers on the Emmaus Road. Yet we’re allowed to experience love’s mysteries. Love’s power, Huey Lewis sang, “Might make you sad. Might make you mad.”

“But you’ll be glad, baby, when you’ve found

That’s the power, makes the world go ‘round.”*

*Songwriters Huey Lewis, Chris Hayes, Johnny Colla. “The Power of Love,” 1985.
