Our culture can be characterized by a disposable love. We tend to love only for a season. The possessions that we say we love, quickly wear out and are replaced by new loveable things. The values that we treasure are superceded by new values that better serve our desires. Even loving relationships are disposed of when we grow apart or the other person is just not meeting our needs. For us, love does not mean a commitment to remain together through the ups and downs of life and feelings.
God’s love for His children is durable and not affected by life’s journey. In Jeremiah 31:3 God says, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” God’s love for His children began before the foundation of the world. His love will continue forever. His love never changes or fluctuates with our performance and is not based on our faithfulness to Him. God is always faithful to His people and His promises.
The question is “what will you do with God’s love?” You can choose to reject Him, and live like His love does not exist. Or you can choose to accept God’s love, and live in the glory and protection of His love. Both decisions come with eternal consequences, so choose wisely.
