The Love Of God Is Greater Far, is the song I was humming while waiting for the #5 train at E180th St on Saturday nite coming from AYS at Ephesus 1991. 

Still humming, I was mugged in front of what probably still is the parking lot on Seymour (between Boston n Givan).  At first, I thought it was a prank by neighbor, Violet, nephew… Sherwin, but alas it was not.

Shaking…I ran upstairs to tell Nana what happened, and how ANGRY I was that God allowed the mugging. Angry because I was humming The Love Of God Is Greater Far. Her response, “Of course, the love of God is greater far…you were not injured!  Mmmm that statement a different light in my perspective.

That night, the mugger came up behind me, placed his hand around my face n mouth and told me to drop my bag. Fortunately my keys were in my hand and strangely, before leaving the apartment that Saturday afternoon and heading to AYS at Ephesus, I decided to empty my purse of all important documents.

Only travelers checks were in my stolen purse.

All this just happened a few days after I had returned from St. Lucia…and was still on a high of how wonderful life is!

Yes, the love of God is greater far….

The part that made me cry ‘n’ shout the same time is…

Aside from not being harmed, the stolen $150 travelers checks was reimbursed by the bank within the week!

The love of God IS GREATER far than tongue or pen could ever tell!
