"Because I Love You With an Everlasting Love."
- Jeremiah 31:3
We will hear what our Heavenly Father does to motivate us by His
everlasting love for us. A love that is perpetual, unending, and
eternal. He has drawn us with a loving-kindness that will never urn out
or dry up. When describing what everlasting love means, I believe that
this says it best. There was never a time in all of eternity when we
were not loved by God.
Our Heavenly Father's everlasting love has always been there and will
always be there. There is nothing we can do to make God love us any
more than He does right now and there is nothing that we can do to make
God love us any less than He does right now. It is difficult for us to
be able to comprehend this kind of unconditional love and acceptance.
That is why the Apostle Paul prayed in Ephesians 3:17-19 that we might be . . .

That is why the Apostle Paul prayed in Eph. 3:17-19 that we might be rooted and established in love, may have power together with all of the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Christian friends, we may know that god loves us in our heads, but He desires for this revelation to seep into every fabric of our being. Love is meant to be experienced, not only intellectually understood. If we never feel love from those around us, life becomes very empty. A big hug from someone we care about feels good. A king word or a loving glance feels good. While our access to God is through faith, we must believe that there is a reward for those that diligently seen Him Heb. 11:6. Our ultimate reward is revelation of our Father's everlasting love for us.
O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - Man's love has limits; God's love is limitless.
