Unfailing Love

 Meditate.

A psalm of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the LORD's unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness. Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens. The LORD said, "I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him: 'I will establish your descendants as kings forever; they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.'" Psalm 89:1-4

Love one another.
Hug your grandkids...if you can.
Granddaughter Liberty...a few years ago.

Unfailing love. Unfailing is such a wonderful word. Dependable, reliable, consistent, abiding enduring, trustworthy, constant, lasting, unshakable. All of those synonyms give us such a sense of assurance. We can count on God’s unfailing love. That is what God is all about. Love. 

As you meditate on this scripture consider your greatest need, desire and motivation. You’ve got it: LOVE. Love is what makes our lives worth living. Love motivates us to work, to enjoy our recreation or sports pursuits, hobbies including reading books, singing and sharing the desires of our hearts…like Jesus.  Loving God and loving others is what is important…and feeling that love returned to us. Without love and physical touch babies won’t thrive; children get sassy and rebellious; and grown-ups experience anxiety, rejection, depression and lack of interest in life. Life is the pits without love. God knows us so well and has given us the ultimate gift—eternal life with Him. That is forever, but it came with a price we could not pay ourselves. Jesus had to give His life in order for us to be purified to stand one day before the Holy Heavenly Father God. That is a great price to pay…but obviously Jesus and God the Father thought we were worth it. That is the greatest, unfailing love. I feel loved. Deeply loved. Valued by the most high God. The best Christmas gift ever.

Prayer ~ Lord God, You taught…For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17. We claim that promise of Your love and eternal life. Thank You.

Verse of Salvation ~ But LORD, be merciful to us, for we have waited for you. Be our strong arm each day and our salvation in times of trouble. Isaiah 33:2
