The Nature of God's Love

As a mom, I can only give only one child my full, exclusive attention and not even then can I continually attend to that one child. I must sleep and work and make preparations for that child, which divide my attention. Even though I would give my life for my child, I am not capable of more than intermittent exclusive attention to my child. But no so with God, He can give you fully His attention continually without taking away from any of His other children, because He is God.

I can hold 2 (or more!) in my lap, but my attention is finite and can only process so much of and for each child. But it isn't like that with God. First of all no human could live through full, total God attention. Remember Moses? (Exodus 20) How he had to be hidden in a rock's crevice just to view a portion of God? (Exodus 33:21) Secondly, a nano second of His attention is equal to more than full human attention because He is able to somehow (in that unknown God-way) give us fully his attention. He is able to attend fully to each -- all the time -- every time.

He wants to attend to us. He waits for us to turn to Him. You can talk to Him non-stop without tiring Him out. There is no thing too small or too large for Him. It just is not humanly possible to wear Him out. Think of it. He wouldn't the All Powerful God if we, individually or collectively could overwhelm Him. So talk to Him -- about everything!
