God Never Stops Loving

“The love of God has been poured out into our hearts.” Many times, we are unaware of how much our past, our wounds, our hurts and disappointments guide and direct our thoughts, actions and responses. We tend to avoid the mistakes of others. Avoiding the consequence of being hurt further by their words, thoughts, actions and reactions. However, we often do not want to learn or grow from our own hurts, failures and shortcomings so we tend to do, say and respond in disbelief, negatively avoiding what we know could be helpful, useful, beneficial and true. To avoid further hurt or past utterances, we will make ourselves believe a lie we know is not true or we believe telling a lie is our only option or we say the truth hurts so we told a friend or a loved one a lie. However, that form of thinking lacks love and is far from the truth that Jesus Himself says is easy and sets us free. Telling the truth always and always telling the truth is always the right, loving and only thing to do. The love of God has been poured into our hearts, and this love is righteous and true.  It seeks gently to uncover a lie so that the only way, the only truth and the only life of God can be discovered in us. This love gives us the strength to endure, the confidence to believe, the hope to trust and the love to forgive sins even when they are our own. This love consumes the past, redeems the present, gives way to the future. This love endures all things, conquers all things and is greater than us, our sins, our death and surely greater than any of our enemies especially the enemy of our human nature and will. The love of God never disappoints and never fails. God’s love is constant always, always active, forever healing, always forgiving, life preserving, life giving, life changing, always available. God never ceases to provide grace, mercy, healing, pardon and peace. God never stops loving. He loves always and will always love us and love you even when you do not believe it, cannot feel it, choose to avoid it, pretend it does not exist or believe he cannot forgive you, does not want to forgive, you believe your hurt and disappoint is greater than God’s love. God still loves you, will never abandon you, will always provide for you and has truly forgiven you. True love can never stop loving because love is forever.
