NEVER

“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

Hebrews 13:5
King James Version

One of my favorite hymns that A. A. Luther wrote is “JESUS NEVER FAILS”.  I’m so glad the words in this beautiful hymn are true.  “Earthly friends may prove untrue, doubts and fears assail; One still loves and cares for you, one who will not fail. Jesus never fails, Jesus never fails; Heav'n and earth may pass away, but Jesus never fails.”

There are times when our friends say and do things that hurt us and there are times when we say and do things that hurt them but Jesus will never say or do anything that will hurt us.  No matter how many times we fail Him and hurt Him, our precious and compassionate Saviour loves us.  He loved us yesterday.  He loves us today and He will love us forever.

May God help us to love one another unconditionally as Jesus has commanded us to love one another.  Can you say that you always love others unconditionally?  I can’t say that I always love unconditionally and it hurts Jesus and breaks His heart.  We read in the Bible.  “For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another” (1 John 3:11).

Heavenly Father, please forgive me for the times that I don’t love others unconditionally.  I’m sorry.  Dear Father, I pray for every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour.  Please encourage them and let them know how much You love them and appreciate their service to You.  I pray for my Pastor, Pastor Davis.  I place him in Your arms of protection.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
