Sometimes the circumstances I find myself in feel much more painful and difficult than my youthful understand of God's true love. It's far to easy to have a false notion that I am only being loved by God when things are going right in my life. That is completely wrong - though it may feel right.
True love is not bound to our feelings. Just because we don't feel loved or just because others don't feel like we love them does not mean that we are not loved or are not loving.
It is in those moments when I need to open God's WORD and remember that God has displayed his perfect love of us for all eternity through the death of His son Jesus - on a horrible and wonderful cross. His love truly endures forever.
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men,
9 for he...
15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men,
16 for he...
31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men.
43 Whoever is wise, let him heed these things
and consider the great love of the LORD.
Psalm 107 (excerpts)
