Jeremiah 31: 3
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore, with loving-kindness have I drawn thee."
NOTHING SHALL SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD
Romans 8:38, 39 says, " For I am persuaded that neither death, not life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of GOD, which is in Christ JESUS, our LORD." The love of GOD is everlasting and full of loving-kindness for us and for all whom He has made. It is a love that is beyond all understanding, since we can not love in this way. Our human love is tainted by the flesh and has all sorts of barriers to total love; GOD has no such barriers. Part of that string of human barriers is the fear of being disappointed.
How many times have you heard people say that they have been disappointed so many times that they have a hard time loving another or trusting another person. That barrier is very common, both on the conscious level, as well as the subconscious level. It is a barrier that stands between us and other people, and stands strongly between us and GOD. It is this barrier that has to fall. It can only fall by yielding our whole self to GOD in total surrender and unconditional trust.
Can we trust GOD with our whole self? Can we say, with Job, "though he slay me, yet will I trust Him"?(Job 13:15) Is there anyone more trustworthy, who loves you without condition, who shows loving-kindness when you do not deserve it? Only GOD can be trusted with your life; only GOD can keep that which we have committed unto Him. GOD is a Covenant GOD, who keeps His promises and stands on His Word.
JESUS LOVES US WITH AN UNFAILING LOVE
