Steadfast Love
Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you. Hosea 10:12
God’s love is unfailing and never changing. His love is steadfast and true. We know this because He is always with us through the good times and the bad. He is always there whenever you need Him, and He will never leave you alone. The fruit of unfailing love is sweet. It is a deep affection that says, “You are my child!” Then adds, “And you will be my child forever!” It brings us into an intimate relationship with God. It is meaningful and satisfying. The fruit of unfailing love explodes with flavor!?
There are consequences to sin, separation but, thanks be to God, there is grace which restores us back into the Fathers arms.
God’s way leads us where we always want to go. The right path is not always smooth and downhill. There are some steep climbs and rough terrain. But the destination is one of great rewards.
Through God’s love we will make it through. We will run and not be weary. We can go through valleys and the stormy places of life and still come out with a smile on our face. You have a God that loves you despite your shortcomings. Stick with God and you will not fail.
Stay on the right path and enjoy the fruit of unfailing love. Look! Up ahead! There He waits with open arms!
Prayer for today: Dear God, thank you for loving us. Keep us on Your path and let us enjoy the fruit of Your Spirit now and throughout eternity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
