God came to a people who had been disobedient and proclaimed God’s unfailing love for them.
As one of God’s children,
I need not fear the loss of God’ love for me.
The verse is part of the reminder that even when the Lord disciplines me because of my actions God does not withdraw God’s love for me.
I recall my mother’s admonition whenever she was disciplining me that she was doing it because she loved me.
Love includes discipline.
My tendency was to change my ways, but also to pull away from the hard part of love.
Unlike my mother who would wait for me to get over myself and reach out to her, this verse reminds me that God reaches out to me. God understands that I may not understand the whys of my circumstances and comes to me to draw me back.
God doesn’t do this by reminding me that I was the one that caused the distance, but by showing me acts of love designed to draw me back to him.
I stand in awe of the love God has for me.
God’s love is a love that will never fail.
God’s love for me is a love that that lasts into eternity.
When I think about this unconditional, unfailing love my heart rejoices.
How wonderful it is to be loved by God.
How wonderful is it to know that when I get into my feelings God is still there calling me to him that I may experience God’s love.
God calls me to him to experience the fullness of God’s presence and all that God’s Love entails.
God continues to love me, when I am wrong, when I sin, when God chastises me, when I praise him, when others forsake me, when life is good and when life is hard.
God continues to love me when I have trouble loving myself. God loves me so much that God constantly seeks to draw me to him, by showing me acts of loving-kindness.
God shows me grace and mercy reminding me that I am loved and bidding me to stay in God’s presence.
I am blessed to be loved by God.
