Psalm 119:64
The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love;
teach me your statutes.
Even the vilest of sinners taste the greatest thing in all of life. Every day is an undeserved blessing for God to man, and all "are without excuse" (Rom. 1:20). The love of God is inescapable; He has connected it to the world. All that we see we see only because of the love of God. Our senses exist to touch and taste and see (Ps. 34:8) and hear and smell God's love. The world exists so that this love could be placed in it.
The very placement of God's love is an incomprehensible act: the eternal has been bound with the created, the infinite has come to the finite. After Adam and Eve's rebellion, faith was necessary. But love was there in the perfection of Eden. One day faith will no longer be needed, but love will always have a place (1 Cor. 13:2, 8-13).
That God's love would be even on one part of this world is incredible, and yet His love is so great that it is everywhere. We can claim with full assurance no matter where we are, "You are there!" as David did (Ps. 139:7-12). No matter where we are, God is there, and with Him is His steadfast love.
