1 Chronicles 16:34
New Living Translation
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love
endures forever.”
The love of God is an infinite
thing; time without end, one day in the presence of Almighty God. Love. 1
Corinthians 13 is the only detailed, concise definition of love that I am aware
of. Wrapped up in that chapter are all the attributes of love. Without an
example, how would we ever know what love was. The bible tells us that God
loved us before we even knew Him. It’s just like the love parents have for an
unborn baby before he or she is born. This is possible because both parents
created a baby through an act of love; God created man through an act of love
as well. Simply put, that is how He could love us before we ever knew
Him.
We can tend to not be very faithful
at times, but that isn’t the way God is. “If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny
who he is.” (2 Timothy
2:13 NLT) Everything about God is based on his faithfulness to perform that
which he promised. Having faithfulness
means he can to counted on or relied upon to do that which he has said he would
do. So when it is said of the Lord that
his love endures forever, you can know in your heart of hearts that he will
never, ever stop loving you no matter what.
We can give thanks to the Lord by
praising his name. Praise him for who He is. Praise him for the life he blessed
you with. Thank him for His patience with you. Seek his guidance and direction regarding
the way you should go. Seek to be more like Jesus in every aspect of your life.
It is a challenge, but anything worthwhile is worth working at. Rejoice in the
fact that even though He knows all your faults and failings, He chooses to love
you forever in spite of yourself, because you are His child. Until next time,
walk with the King and be a blessing!
