WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE

“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

Jeremiah 31:3 KJV

One of the definitions that I found for everlasting in Webster’s Dictionary is “existing or continuing without end”.  Has it gone from head knowledge to heart knowledge that Jesus, the Saviour of the world, not only loves you, He loves you with an everlasting love?  He loves you and He will love you forever.

You might wonder why I write so much about the love of Jesus in my devotions.  It is because love, unconditional love that comes from the heart of Jesus is the only thing that will get us through this world of hatred and violence.  Until we grasp in our heart how much Jesus loves us, we will never be happy.

Some people think that sex is love but it isn’t.  I wonder how many times men have said to someone “If you love me, you would go all the way with me”.  That is a lie straight from the pits of hell.  Unless we love someone unconditionally and from the depths of our heart, it is not real love.  It is just a physical act.

Heavenly Father, we’re sorry for the times we hurt You when we don’t love one another unconditionally.  Thank You for giving Jesus to us to die on the cross for our sins.  Jesus, I appreciate You and I love You with all my heart.  How I long for the day when I will see You face to face.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
