Wednesday Reading: Jeremiah 31:3
Key Verse: Jeremiah 31:3
3 Jehovah has appeared to me from afar, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you.
Devotion:
The one thing that we can be absolutely certain of is that Christ will always try to draw us near, no matter how far we have gone away from Him. We could be at the very depth of depression or the depth of our hatred for all things religious and He will still stretch out His hand for us to grab. What an AWESOME God we have!
The more that I go over my life and see how “topsey turvey” I was the more I am certain that God loves me because I can see that He has always been there watching over me and always been there trying to get me to come back to Him since that very first time I asked Him into my life when I was younger. We do not have to worry that we have done too much for God to forgive us, nor do we have to worry about how long it has taken us to come back to Him. The important fact is that we have made it back in time! There will not always be time to make a decision because we are living in a finite world with a finite lifespan – we do not know how long we actually do have to live but you can bet anything you like that God is knocking on your door patiently waiting...
The love that God has for us is not a love that has a time span like our does. We can fall in love with someone and it is only from that time until we die that our love will last. Notice I did not say fall out of love because if you are truly in love then nothing will ever change your heart. God’s love has been there for and with us from before we could realise it and it will remain even after we die – He loves our very souls and nothing will change that. Why else would such an awesome God be so mindful of us, mere specks in the world, less than dust in the universe, but thoroughly loved for who we are! It’s like we think that He has forgotten one of our prayers suddenly we get a phone call and everything is sorted out. God is faithful. God is just. He is here, always!
Points to Ponder:
Are you wondering?
Are you watching out for His grip?
