“GOD LOVES YOU with an everlasting Love, which flows out from the depths of eternity. Before you were born, GOD knew you. Ponder the awesome mystery of a Love that encompasses you from before birth to beyond the grave. Modern man has lost the perspective of eternity. To distract himself from the gaping jaws of death, he engages in ceaseless activity and amusement. The practice of being still in GOD’S Presence is almost a lost art, yet it is this very stillness that enables you to experience GOD’S eternal Love. You need the certainty of GOD’S loving Presence in order to weather the storms of life. During times of severe testing, even the best theology can fail you if it isn’t accompanied by empirical knowledge of GOD. The ultimate protection against sinking during life’s storms is devoting time to develop your friendship with GOD.”
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” JEREMIAH 31 : 3
Because of the LORD’S great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. LAMENTATIONS 3 : 22 – 26
Prayer: Lord oh how important it is for my soul to be still in your presence. I need to feel you and experience your presence to weather the storms of life. Thank you for your compassion which is new every morning. Everyday you give me a clean slate because of Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
