God’s Love Written in the Heavens! “Heavenly Graffiti”
.
.
.
.
.
.
Listen to the beautiful words of this little song…
.
VERSE 1.
.
“The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest Hell…
.
VERSE 3.
.
“…Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.”
.
Verse 3 of this song was penciled on the wall of a narrow room in an insane asylum by a man said to have been demented. The profound lines were discovered when they laid him in his coffin.

THE HEAVENS DECLARE GOD’S LOVE
.
This above song sings of the matchless love of God, and laments the impossibility of our writing about that redeeming love, even upon the heavenly scroll of the sky!

EARTHLY GRAFFITI
.
But the sinfulness and hatred and violence and perverted lusts, as well as the lawless disregard of Mankind has been adequately inscribed on earthly scrolls!
.
Yes, as one worldly songster sang…“The words of the (worldly) prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls!”
.
That’s right! People down here have spent inordinate hours transcribing the sentiments on various, “subway walls, and tenement halls”, and we might also include, “on restroom stalls!”

THE VULGAR WORDS OF EARTHLY PROPHETS
.
Everywhere we go it seems, we encounter what has been coined as “graffiti”.
.
And this modern-day phenomenon has become an earthly testament of the sinfulness of people, predominantly the younger generation as they mostly inscribe vulgarities, lewd images, and false ideologies.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“THE CITIES OF THE NATIONS FELL”
Revelation 16:19
.
And try as they will, the authorities are mostly helpless to stop this illegal inscribing of words and images on public property!
.
And while many young minds think this stuff is “pretty cool”, many more mature minds think it’s pretty destructive.
.
But after all, we’re living in a society which has rejected the Ten Commandments, the Bible, and has replaced them with an atheistic paganism which promotes this kind of lawless behavior!
.
And so, we’re merely getting what we deserve!

THE SIGNS OF HEAVEN: GOD’S GRAFFITI
.
But did you know that our great God has inscribed His own graffiti?
.
That’s right! God, long ago has written His own version of graffiti on the ceiling which covers this world, the night sky…
.
Listen…“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon,
and in the stars;” Luke 21:25
.
This above verse has not been properly understood until now. You see, God is now revealing His own graffiti which has been inscribed on the Sun, Moon, and stars.
.
Of course, this is totally legal, since God is the Creator and Owner of all things.
.
.
.
.
.
THE HEAVENS DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
Psalm 97:6
.
But instead of violence, vulgarities and lewd images, God has written the wonderful redeeming love of Christ as revealed in the Gospel of our Salvation!

“WRITE THEM (GOD’S WORD) UPON THE TABLE OF THINE HEART”
Proverbs 3:3
Now, God is not content to inscribe this heavenly graffiti on the heavenly scroll.
.
No, God loves to write graffiti! In fact, He can hardly stop Himself from inscribing more and more graffiti: that is, He loves to write His own version of heavenly graffiti on the walls of the human heart!
.
That’s right! God is in the business of writing His heavenly love story upon the walls of the hearts of each and every Christian.
.
.
.
.
.
REPLACING EARTHLY GRAFFITI WITH HEAVENLY
.
But we must cooperate with this Divine Graffiti Master Artist, known as Jehovah God!
.
And just how do we cooperate?
.
Simple!
.
We must understand that we have allowed God’s arch-enemy, Lucifer, to write his own graffiti on the walls of our heart, all through our short lives.
.
Yes, now given the title, “Satan”, this “god of this world” has been busily exposing us to as much sin and selfishness and worldly wisdom, with the intent of filling our heart and mind with the graffiti of sin!
.
But now, God is wanting us to scrub away all those vile images and cheap commonness and ugly vulgarities which have been filling our hearts, all through our lives!
