“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an
end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23
When does the love of God cease?
When do His mercies come to an end?
His word says: NEVER!
NEVER means just exactly what you think it means, NOT
EVER!
We struggle to grasp that truth because our love and
our mercy ebb and flow based on circumstances, our mood or the behavior of
others.
God is love.
In that respect, He is not moved by the same things
that move us to remove or temper our love toward others.
We try to understand the love of God in the same way
we experience our love (or lack of love) with and for others.
The perfect love of God cannot be understood through
the imperfect love of man.
Perhaps, in part, that is why Jesus said:
“And this is eternal life, that they know you, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”
John 17:3
It will take eternity to begin to grasp that wonderful
love!
