God’s Love Never Wears Out

I came across a saying that "God’s love is like an ocean, you can see it’s beginning but not it’s ending." This made me pause and think for a while; God is the creator of heaven and the earth, He is omnipotent, omnipresent and is not in need of anything we can give as human beings but He loves us so jealously that nothing can change His love for us. The Lord knows and sees the flaws and bad side of our flesh yet this doesn’t change His constant love for us.

In Luke 15:12 -32, Jesus tells us the parable of the prodigal son. This account is a perfect example of God’s love for us, even when we make bad decisions or sin. God’s love remains present, infinite and endures forever regardless of our conduct. God is always ready and willing to welcome us back with open arms. Isn’t it wonderful to know that God’s love for you will never run out and become empty as long as you accept it. Romans 5:8 tells us that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. This means that God so loved us to the extent that He gave us His only Son to come and die for our sins that we may not perish but forever be in His loving-kindness that is better than life (Psalms 63:3).

God does not love us because we are good but He makes us good because He loves us. Our feelings of being loved may come and go but God’s love does not.

Nothing is purer than God’s love. It is forgiving and unconditional. He is there for us like no one else. We just need to have faith in His presence because there is no place too dark for His love to penetrate. God loves us too much; and the best way to find love is to find God (1 John 4:16). If there is rest under the sky, it is found in the assurance that God’s love will never wear out on you.
