“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with lovingkindness.”
Jeremiah 31:3
Not many things in this world last forever. We marvel at antiques that are hundreds of years old. We are in awe of couples that stay married for fifty, sixty, even seventy years. We admire people that live past 100. But all of that is but a minute drop in the bucket compared to God’s love for us.
He promises that His love for us will be “everlasting”. This is a love that surrounds us everyday,(Song of Songs 2:4); a love that holds us up when were weak (Isaiah 41:14); a love that gives us guidance when we need direction (Jeremiah 29:11-12) and a love that forgives us when we do wrong (Psalm 103:11-12). This is a love that won’t end when our lives on earth end in death, this love will go on throughout eternity, forever and ever.
What joy it will be to spend eternity with the one that loved us first, loves us the most and whose love will never end!
