| God's Love Never Ends |
|
| "We are more than conquerors through him who loved us." ( Romans 8:37 , NIV ) |
|
"If only I could see what you looked like," Moses said to God." It would mean so much to me." Finally, God agreed. "I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and as I pass by you can see my back." What a glorious moment it was for Moses. His grand desire was fulfilled as he saw what God looked like.
Years later Moses wrote about the experience. Amazingly, he didn't say a single word about what he saw. Instead, he wrote about what he heard! What impressed him most was the nature of God, the thing that made God, God. He heard, "The Lord, The Lord, the compassionate and gracious God." God, you see, is love. Moses remembered that most of all.
After considering all the deeds of the Lord, both in the Bible and in one's own life, the greatest attribute of God is that He loves us in spite of our failures. Trace all through history and see that God's love guards us as a shepherd caring for his flock. Even in moments of disaster, God is in our midst, turning failures into successes. Truly, His love is everlasting!
I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in the air,
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
-John Greenleaf Whittier |

Father, may we never forget that You loved us enough to send Jesus to die for us; and may we love You enough to die to ourselves. In Jesus' name.
Amen. - MICHAEL TACKETT, Merkel, Texas |
