“Let love and
faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.”
Proverbs 3:3
“…God is love”
I John 4:8
“…because God has
said,
“Never will I leave
you;
never will I forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
Do you see the
promise ‘hidden’ in these verses?
On the one hand God
instructs us to not let love and faithfulness leave us
but then we find, through His Word,
that He is love and that He will never leave or forsake us.
Though we may choose
to walk away from Him, who is love, He will not walk away from us.
Like the story of the
Prodigal Son we have a God who pursues and draws us.
Are you responding
today to the love of God?
We have been talking
of late about supernatural love.
Maybe you’re thinking
to yourself “Well, with my behavior or with my past it would take supernatural
love to love someone like me!”
Well, welcome!
That is true for all
of us.
Even the squeakiest
clean person among us cannot stand on their own merit.
Scripture tell us
that we love Him because He first loved us.
The ‘squeakiest clean’
and the most vile are loved by God.
The ‘squeakiest
clean’ and the most vile are both equally in need of His mercy.
Thank you, Lord, for
your love.
Thank you, too, for
your faithfulness and mercy.
I am so grateful that
in your great love you pursued me
You never leave me,
you never forsake me.
You are love and I am
loved by you.
How wonderful you
are!
