You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
You are my God, and I will exalt you.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
His love endures forever .

What if it’s true?

What if God really loves you? What if He actually is especially fond of you? What if God’s love for you endures? What if His love is more persistent than the sun’s rays or gravity’s relentless draw? What if this is your ‘winning ticket’ for eternity? What if you banked on His love every morning you wake up and every night you tuck yourself in bed?

What if His love actually endures forever?

Would the truth of His love change the way you pray today? I think so. I think we’d be more confident and less frantic. I think we’d speak freely about the contents of our hearts and minds and say less of the things we think we’re supposed to say. I think we’d start to sound and live like the daughters and sons that Jesus purchased with his blood.

I know, we still have nagging questions: “But what about that person who died young, or that person who has cancer, or that kid who didn’t do anything to deserve being in that wheelchair?” Yes, there are hard questions; you would have to resolve that God’s enduring love will even transform those stories in the fullness of time. You will have to settle on the truth that God’s enduring love is the bigger story, The Biggest Story, the Grand Narrative.

Give thanks to the LORD for He is good;
His love endures forever.

Praying with you this day.

Andrew
