How much does God love you?

My kids used to ask me, "Daddy, how much do you love me?" I'd always raise my arms up and say, "This much." It made sense to them, since my arms were so much bigger than theirs. That was an easy game to play. Dad has big arms, he can reach really far, and his love is really wide.

God's arms are invisible. How will we ever know how big God's love is, when God has no arms? And then I remember God coming to earth in the flesh. At the cross, he raises his arms outward and says, "Guess how much I love you?" How wide are those arms? Wider than we will ever know.
