Oh How I Love Thee! (#7)

God looks upon us -- “How do I love you? Let me help you count the ways.”

Love! Some seem to “fall in love” and “fall out of love” so easily. Is there anything to love? Maybe it is that love -- true love -- has not been understood. True love goes deep. True love is steadfast. And God’s love is true! God’s love is eternal. God’s love will always be as He will always be. Because God’s love is eternal there are eternal blessings of which we are assured.

In his second letter to the church in Thessalonica, Paul noted…
“(16) Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, WHO LOVED US AND GAVE US ETERNAL COMFORT AND GOOD HOPE through grace, (17) comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.” ( 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 ESV)

God has shown His love through providing encouragement and hope, not just for this life, but for eternity. His love is not a fleeting thing. His love is not just the passion of the moment. God’s love is linked to His plan for eternity.

The Psalmist stated:
“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for HIS STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!” ( Psalm 118:29 ESV)

Yes, thank you Lord, for such a love as Yours!

Have a great day knowing God’s ETERNAL LOVE!
