A Grand Proclamation By Tami Heim
God’s Word is a grand proclamation that His love never quits.
How do we even grasp all that it means to know God and that his love never quits? The definition of never carries with it a divine weightiness – at no time in the past or future: on no occasion; not ever. Apply this to God’s Word and you sense eternity seeping through the promise.
When never becomes the bridge between love and quits it pierces human hearts, desperate to love and be loved. Because love first loved us, it convicts us to confess our sin and accept wholeheartedly, by faith, Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It is this love that inspires us to obediently embrace our Kingdom assignment. It is this love that moves us from justification to sanctification and ultimately ushers in glorification.
And it is this love that has promised over and over again to never leave or forsake us. As you count your blessings and gratitude swells, remember to always give thanks for this extraordinary gift of God’s great faithfulness to you.
