Unfailing is Your Love, O Lord!

A quick look back at our lives and we see a rather consistent pattern of failure toward GOD. We fail Him by our unbelief, our daily sins and shortcomings, and our disobedient ways—if we seriously step back and consider our lives, we can easily recognize an established pattern of failure. If a close friend consistently failed me in the same way I fail GOD, I would be wondering if the friendship were really worth continuing. What about you?  

GOD had intervened in the issues of the Israelites for centuries. He was always there to get them out of the trouble they had created by walking away from Him. He sent His special messengers, the prophets, to warn and attempt to redirect their lives; yet, their response was to ridicule, persecute and even kill these special emissaries from GOD. Finally, he sent Jeremiah to give them a final warning concerning the impending Babylonian invasion that would destroy their homeland. He sounded the warning but to no avail!

In the midst of their ongoing, flagrant rebellion, the LORD expressed His unceasing love by saying: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself” (Jeremiah 31:3 NLT). In the very midst of your outright rebellious ways, GOD continued to love them and desire for them to return to Him.

Today, you may be struggling against the Spirit of GOD? You might be rebelling against His direction, choosing to follow after your own path? As you continue your venture, you discover dead-ends, GOD’s way of redirecting you, but you choose to go around the warning signs taking your life into your own hands—continuing to follow a path of eventual destruction.

It’s time to turn around before it’s too late! It’s time to turn your life back to GOD and allow Him to lead and direct your steps. He loves you! He will forgive all your past sins and shortcomings. He will trade them all in on His free gift of eternal life! By His unfailing love, He continues to draw you unto Himself.

Scripture Reading: “Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you!” (Psalm 63:3 NLT).

Prayer: Father in heaven, in the midst of my rebellion, You continue to love me and gently pull me back to You! Please forgive me for even thinking I could do life without You. Please forgive my rebelliousness and help me to get on Your path and remain there. I love You and thank You that You have never given up on me nor will You ever. Your unfailing love reaches out to me always…in Jesus’ name…AMEN!
