Not so with God’s love

The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. (Psalms 103:8 NLT)

God’s unconditional love for us is worth thinking about regularly. It is easy to get caught up in the fast pace of life and forget some of the fundamental truths that bring us joy, peace, and confidence as Christians.

The nature of God’s love, its unconditionality and universality, is truly a wonderful thing. God’s love is not the kind of love that is expressed by so many in today’s world: a love of convenience, need, or ego.

Too often, the love we see in society is predicated on the value that the other person provides, and when that value ceases or is no longer needed, the love fades with it.

Not so with God’s love. It is the essence of who He is. His love endures forever. It never fails. God’s love is the source of His compassion for all mankind—believers and unbelievers. He delights in our company and wants to befriend us.

God’s deep and abiding love motivates His continual call to each human being He has created, inviting them into relationship with Him, into transformation. [1]

 Christ came for this reason, because he loved us; there was nothing in us to love, but by loving us he made us lovable. - Saint Augustine of Hippo
