Psalm 118:1-4
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His love endures forever.
Let Israel say:
“His love endures forever.”
Let the house of Aaron say:
“His love endures forever.”
Let those who fear the Lord say:
“His love endures forever.”
Think about the amazing gift of God’s love. It is not His rejection and wrath that last forever. When God looks at His children, those who have trusted in Christ as their Lord and Savior, He sees us clothed in Christ’s holiness and righteousness. When we are in Christ, when we are united in Him by faith, God loves us like He loves His own Son.
His love endures forever. (Not the love of friends or those who we try so desperately to get approval from. Only His love is forever.)
His love endures forever. (God’s love will never change. There is nothing we can do to make God love us more. And there is nothing we can do to make God love us less. God’s love is about Him, not us!)
His love endures forever. (God’s love doesn’t change. God’s love is not based on our performance or anything we do or don’t do. God’s love is about what Christ has already done on the cross.)
His love endures forever. (It is possible to lose the love of friends, parents, spouses, boyfriends and girlfriends, but God’s love will never end. It is forever!)
Are you resting in the love of God or are you chasing after a lesser love from other people?
