The Lord appeared to us in the past, [a] saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” —Jeremiah 31:3
There is one aspect of God that appears over and over in the Bible. It is His most dominant attribute and the reason that Jesus was sent to pay for our sins: love. Love is a common theme throughout a huge portion of the stories that the Word teaches us. In fact, the New International Version mentions the word an astonishing 551 times. There are many different types of love mentioned throughout the Bible. We see affection between parents and children, spouses, siblings, even strangers. None of these human emotions can compare, however, to the love that God has for us. It is more pure than we could ever imagine. His love is far beyond the realms of our comprehension. Even when we’re feeling his affection through our blessings and experiences, it’s only a tiny sample of what is in store for us. The circumstances in your life will always change. Sometimes they’re for the better, and sometimes they’re difficult. No matter what you’re dealing with or facing, remember that God’s love is unchanging. We can rely on the feeling of acceptance and support in every endeavor. His love endures through all our mistakes and shortcomings. Today, take the time to thank our heavenly Father for his love; without it, we would have no future. The wages of sin are death, but He cares so much that He sacrificed His son, the purest lamb, just for you. Remember that He is there for you regardless of the situation, and that He will never waver or change.
