Unfailing Love

"Though the mountains are shaken and the hills removed, my unfailing love for you will never be shaken and my covenant of peace will never be removed," says the Lord who has compassion on you.


Isaiah 54:10


How awesome is that?! No matter how many times we screw up, and no matter how many times we forget about him, he never gives up on us. He loves us no matter how stupid we may act. We always think of mountains as unshakable. God's love is stronger and more unmoving than a mountain. We can't do anything bad enough for God to say, "You've messed up too many times. I'm leaving." He will always be there. Psalms 119:76-77 says "May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight." I pray that this psalm is the prayer of our hearts. No, we can't ever get close enough to earn our salvation, but I pray that we would strive to be everything God would like us to be. I pray that we can step out of our comfort zones to praise the One who gave us life, both now and in eternity. I pray that we can be subjects of God's love and compassion, and that we can share that love with others who need it just as much as we do.
