A Love that Never Lets Go

A Love that Never Lets Go

So let me ask you, at what point does God give up on us. When we’ve failed Him for the millionth time, when we’ve made the same mistake yet again, fallen to the same temptation yet again, at what point does God give up?

Love is so incredibly important in our lives. We’re made to love and to be loved. If you think about the greatest joys and greatest tragedies in your life, the people you love are right at the centre of both of those.

So often the love we experience in this world isn’t the sort of love we really need. Perhaps that’s why it can be so difficult for many of us to really wrap our hearts around the amazing love of God because God’s love is different. It’s completely unconditional and when you stop and think about that, it means that there’s never any reason for Him to throw us away.

There’s never any reason for Him to reject us, to stop trying, to stop hanging in there with us, no matter what stupid mistakes we make in our relationship with Him.

1 John 4:15,16 Anyone who says, “I believe that Jesus is the Son of God,” is a person who lives in God, and God lives in that person. So we know the love that God has for us, and we trust that love. God is love. Everyone who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in them.

It’s not just that God loves us, of course He does. But God is love. God and love are the same thing. And the moment you and I put our trust in Jesus, we live in God, we live in love and love lives in us – the sort of love that will never, ever let go.

That’s something that you can depend on.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
