the end is the beginning

Tuesday May 8^th, Acts 8: ³⁹When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.  No time for reflection, no time to change your mind either.  Philip finds himself moved from the Philistine area in the southern Gaza to the northern Gaza area of Azotus and then he travels either up the coast to Herod’s town of Caesarea by the sea or north of the Galilee to Caesarea Philippi.  The love of God is as wide as the East is from the West, and now apparently as deep as the South is from the North.  This is not accidental, this is the ever expanding world of the Grace of God that we are called to be a part of.  Where would the ends of the earth be for us today?? Would it be limited to earth, galaxy, solar system?  These stories tell us that the only limit to God’s love are the limits you and I place on our discovering of that love that already exists beyond any limitation any of place, ever!!!!   Whenever you think you see the end, it is just the beginning.
