   In the realm of general relativity, an event horizon is the point of no return. It's the point at which gravitational pull becomes so great that it's impossible to escape. The most obvious example is the black hole - a celestial object so massive that light can only enter but never exit its gravitational field. The escape velocity of a black hole is greater than the speed of light, which is impossible to exceed. So, once you cross its horizon, there is no turning back. God's love is like that. The Bible says, 'God is love' (1 John 4:8 NIV). The implications of that one statement will take all of eternity to unpack. Nothing pulls stronger or longer than God's love. Love is an event horizon, and once you cross over, you can't get back. And who would want to? 

   Logic won't get you to God's love. His love is beyond logical - it's theological. The only way to receive the love of God is via revelation. Paul wrote: 'I pray that you...may...grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ...that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God' (Ephesians 3:17-19 NIV). The love of God is measureless. It doesn't fit in a box, not even a box the size of the universe. And if the universe isn't big enough, God's love certainly won't fit within the confines of our human logic. 

   So how do we get God's love in our hearts and minds? Through a personal revelation! So, the word for today is: pray for a revelation of God's love.
