God's Love Never Quits
This Friday morning, while driving to work, I saw on a Lutheran Church sign: Looking for Love? It was a poignant message. The truth is that every human being is always looking for love. Many in their quest to find love find it in the wrong places. But the Bible carries a simple core message, true love is found in God. We don't have to look anywhere else. God loves us with the kind of love we will never be able to phantom. Furthermore, unlike human love, God's love for us is everlasting. God's love never quits. Even those that get married, they take a pledge to love each other forever, but statistics show that 50% of the time, it fails.
Years ago, I used to feel that way. I quit on God countless times. But after my epiphany and after years of trials, how could I ever do that? Once an online contact told me that if my mom had died of cancer that I would have been cursing God----had he not cured her. This question gave me the chance to ponder. Is it right to claim you have love for someone only when things are going as you want them to go? Do we love someone because they do special things for us, always fulfilling our wishes? That is not true love. It is fake love. And our actions become clearly evident.
Only through countless trials and God's grace have I reached the level of spiritual maturity to respond that I will not stop loving God even through hardships.
