God's Love is Everlasting! | Gods love, God prayer, Believe in god

The Everlasting Embrace

In the quiet corridors of history, where whispers of the past echo with timeless truths, we find the words of Jeremiah 31:3, a beacon of divine love and assurance. “The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” These words, spoken to the prophet Jeremiah, resonate through the ages, reaching out to us with a message of an eternal love that transcends time and circumstance.

The Nature of Everlasting Love

What is this everlasting love that the Lord speaks of? It is a love that is unchanging, unfailing, and unending. It is a love that does not waver in the face of adversity or diminish with the passing of time. This love is not earned by deeds nor diminished by failures. It is a love freely given, a gift from the Divine to the creation He so cherishes.

Reflective Questions

As we ponder the depth of such love, we might ask ourselves:

  • How does the knowledge of God’s everlasting love influence our daily lives?
  • In what ways can we reflect this divine love in our interactions with others?
  • Can we truly comprehend the magnitude of a love that knows no bounds?

The Moral of The LORD’s Love

The moral of this everlasting love is clear: we are called to love as we have been loved. Just as the Lord draws us with lovingkindness, we too are invited to extend kindness and compassion to those around us. In a world where love often comes with conditions and expectations, the challenge is to love unconditionally, to offer grace as freely as we have received it.

Scriptural Support

As we seek to embody this love, let us remember the words of 1 John 4:19, “We love because He first loved us.” It is this first love, this initiating love of the Lord, that empowers us to love in return. It is the foundation upon which all acts of kindness and expressions of compassion are built.

In conclusion, the everlasting love of the Lord is not just a promise from the past; it is a living, breathing reality that calls us to action. It invites us to become vessels and reflections of His love, to share the lovingkindness that has been so generously poured upon us. May we rise to this calling, and in doing so, find the true meaning of love.

A Heartfelt Prayer

As we close this reflection on the everlasting love of the Lord let’s share this heartfelt prayer:

“Dear Heavenly Father, Your love is like the vast expanse of the sky, boundless and beautiful. You have drawn us close with cords of kindness, wrapping us in the warmth of Your eternal embrace. Help us to grasp the depth of Your love, to feel its power and its peace. May we walk in the light of Your love, reflecting its brilliance in the dark corners of this world. Guide our steps, that we may love as You love, without reservation or hesitation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

I pray this resonates with you and provides spiritual enrichment from the LORD’s Word and His Bible. 

DEAR GOD: Thank You For My Eternal Rewards~

psalm-1211_3022_1024x768.jpg – at the foot of mountains

 

Psalm 121 (NKJV)

I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?

Truly the only One that can help and make a difference in the outcome, whatever it may be, is the LORD. He is the One that is in ultimate control. He is the One that fully can decide an alternate course of action, irrespective of the one that we think is right. He knows what is best for us, always!

 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

He is available 24/7 and is never on vacation. He is there with us through all the good times and bad times. He is unmovable in His strength and determination when it comes to helping His children. He is the One that will “help” and He is the One who remains faithful. He knows what is best for us, always!

 He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

He will guide us through rough terrain and will not let us fall or be left clueless. He will not let us falter at the fork in the road. He will prevent us from the fires of hell when we adhere to His Word, and commandments, and accept His Son as our Savior.  He knows what is best for us, always!

 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

He is in full control of all. He is in full control of what will happen, and what He “ALLOWS” to happen. It is in His plan, His Word. He is at the helm, and He is in the driver’s seat. No one else. Just Him. He knows what is best for us, always!

The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.

He keeps us safe, and He is our Rock! He is the One that thinks of us as the “Apple of His eye” and won’t have any enemy destroy you. He allows things to transpire, but He can change anything whenever He wants, whenever He wants, and wherever He wants. He knows what is best for us, always!

The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

He watches over us throughout the 24 hours of the day. He guides us in the daylight, and in the nighttime. He doesn’t lapse in His feelings, or His Word. It is solid, strong, and He thwarts our enemy at every turn. He knows what is best for us, always!

The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.

He wraps His arms around us as any loving Father would to His children. He is the Omnipotent and Powerful Being that formed us and created our souls. He defeated death, He is victorious over the grave, He is our Savior. He alone is in charge and owns our souls.  He loves us! He knows what is best for us, always!

The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.

Finally, as He watches, guides, directs, leads us each day of our lives, every step of the way. So too shall He protect us in the Eternity, forevermore. He is the keeper of our souls! He knows what is best for us, always!

Our rewards are waiting for us in the eternity. Christ our Redeemer promises such joy in Heaven, that anything here on earth cannot even come begin to come close to in comparison. We cannot possibly conceive or grasp what the reality will be when we are called home. Trust Him, knowing we will be called home one day, and He surely will welcome us with open arms. Until then, be comforted knowing that the LORD is with us always, and He will never leave us, nor forsake us. How’s that for an amazing God?

“Father, thank You for Your promises, Your eternal and faithful Word,  and Your love and protection, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
