Everlasting - #11

Long ago the Lord said to Israel:

“I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love.

    With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.

... Jeremiah 31:3

It's been said the only certain things in life is death and taxes. 

Child of God, there's one more thing: His love is everlasting. He doesn't fall out of love with you; His feelings don't change. You haven't tried His patience one too many times.

He does correct those whom He loves, and so there are consequences to our actions. But one of the consequences will never be that He stops loving you.

He does everything possible to draw you back to Himself.

I'm thankful for that love!

P. S. While Jeremiah wrote the above promise to the Jews, we Gentiles are counted as Abraham's seed and receive the same promise. Another reason to praise!
