It is wonderful to know, this one thing remains unchangeable for us:
GOD’S LOVE.
I couldn't live a day or even a moment without God.
God loves us but, it doesn't mean he doesn't discipline us, for God says who he loves he chastens. It also doesn't mean that we do not walk through the consequences of our choices.
These consequences can sometimes actually lead us to repentance and brokenness. Sin separates us from God, he still loves us but we can't come close to him at all because of the stench of sin.
Unrepentant sin of any kind is offensive to God and he turns away from it. The wonderful thing is as soon as we say we are sorry, repent - turn away
(there is a difference between being sorry and repenting)
This is Paul speaking to the Corinthians:
2 Corinthians 7:
8 For even though I did grieve you with my[a]letter, I do not regret it [now]; though I did regret it —for I see that the letter hurt you, though only for a little while—9 yet I am glad now, not because you were hurtandmade sorry, but because your sorrow led to repentance [and you turned back to God]; for you felt a grief such as God meant you to feel, so that you might not suffer loss in anything on our account.10 For [godly] sorrow that is in accord withthe will ofGod produces a repentance without regret,leadingto salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death.
After we repent and run to him we realize
God was waiting for us all along with open wide stretched arms.
His love never fails.
Can you just remind yourself of this. Lay your hands on yourself, look in the mirror and say God loves me unconditionally and he made me fearfully and wonderfully.
When we have a true encounter with God's love, we lose the taste for the world, the desire to satiate the flesh becomes secondary to that deep intimate place with God.
You want that place, then:
SEEK HIM AND YOU WILL FIND HIM!
Listen to the words of this song carefully:
Higher than the mountains that I face Stronger than the power of the grave Constant through the trial and the change One thing remains This one thing remains
Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me
Because on and on and on and on it goes Before it overwhelms and satisfies my soul And I never, ever, have to be afraid One thing remains This one thing remains
Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me Your love
In death, and in life I'm confident and covered by the power of your great love My debt is paid, there's nothing that can separate My heart from Your great love
Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me, it never fails
On and on Your love goes on and on Singing your love Your love goes on and on His love goes on and on Sing it
Because on and on and on and on it goes Before it overwhelms and satisfies my soul And I never, ever, have to be afraid This one thing remains This one thing remains
Your love never fails Your love never fails Your love never fails Your love never fails Your love never fails me Your grace never fails me Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up It never runs out on me
