God's Unfailing Love

In the New Living Translation in Psalm 36:5-10, we read:
Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
Your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.
You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your rivers of delight.
For You are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.
Pour out your unfailing love on those who love You;
Give justice to those with honest hearts.

God’s love for you and me is never ceasing, always there, never failing. His love never fails. Think about it. His unfailing love is as immense as the heavens. And He is faithful with His love which reaches everywhere. His unfailing love makes us righteous, and His righteousness is as majestic as the mighty mountains. How many of you have been to the great Rocky Mountains in the United States or the Grand Tetons? They are breathtaking in their expansive, mighty heights and beauty. That is the way God’s Love is, which is demonstrated in making us right with Him, righteous.

God’s Love is just----as deep as the ocean. He cares for us human beings and He cares for animals. He created both of us. His love extends to all of us. I am sure that He enjoys animals as much, if not more so, than we do. He is their Creator.

God’s love is precious, special, tender, caring. We find shelter in the shadow of the wings of Love Himself. The comparison here is to a mother hen gathering her chicks when danger is near. We run to Love Himself. He protects. Love protects us.

God Himself, Love Himself, feeds us of the abundance of His house, His kingdom, and we drink in His Presence, drinking from the river of life, a delightful river to all of us. We drink of that river every time we pray in the spirit for out of our bellies flow rivers of living water. Love Himself is the fountain of life. He is ever flowing in us, bringing life to us. His fountain never runs dry.

And He is the Light by which we see, by which we gain the wisdom to know what to do in life’s situations. His Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. He opens the eyes of our understanding to see the Truth of Who He is in us and what He desires to do for us, to supply to us from His finished work.

To those who love Him, He pours our His unfailing love and brings justice to us, makes things right for us. Once again, I must quote Romans 5:5 from the New Living Translation. He pours out His love to us

Romans 5:5
…For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Do you hear the sound of that passage? That is Love speaking. Listen to His heartbeat as He pours out His love to you. Respond. Pour out your love to Him. Have a love feast. You know, that is what He is waiting for. That is what He longs for. Get lost in His Presence. He is waiting.
