Through museums and cathedrals, ancient cities and castles, we were truly in the world of man's achievements. Over it all, John was seeing the futility of the wealth and grandiosity, but at the same time, the perfection of God's sovereignty. All that 'is,' no matter what, is under His dominion. Whether good or bad, all things will serve Him in the end. Length: 14:13 The Holy Spirit was teaching us so much as we traveled through Austria and Italy.

His love is mercy, dominion and power. God gave us an adventure in our trip to Italy and Austria but in this time He also touched our loves other than Him. When we give God our small yes to His love, His love proves to be all-encompassing. He will undertake and secure our love for Himself. It is like the book of Hosea says "I will be faithful to you and make you mine, and you will finally know me as the Lord." Length: 16:21 How great and huge and determined is God's love toward us!
