Unending Love

Unending Love


The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the Lord with these words:

“He is good!
His faithful love endures forever!”

At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 5:13 NEW LIVING TRANSLATION


I’d like to think I know what love is. I would like to think we can see love in the eyes of a new dad, or the way a mother holds her child, or in the way newlyweds dance on their wedding day, and even in the embrace of friends. But I fear these are pale comparisons to God’s love because the aforementioned can change in a moment. A father may not be there for his newborn. A mother may not want the child she bore and some marriages, like friendships, drift apart. But this love God has, according to the scripture, it endures forever. Why does His love continue when ours comes to an end?

I consider myself a novice at such a complicated thing as love. But one item I have noticed about God Styled love is its commitment. The mushy feelings can come and go. For us humans, most of us have maximum tolerance for disappointment, failure and denial before love fails or simply moves on to some new fixation.

But God’s love for us never hinges upon our performance or intellect or talent or even our commitment. His loves hinges upon who He is, not who we are or what we do. God’s love for us is a testament to His integrity, His commitment and to His highest priority, which happens to be us! And His commitment never changes, it endures forever.
