The Bible Verse
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: 'I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
Jeremiah 31:3
Today's Inspirational
As the day fades into night, we are often left to reflect on the things we truly long for. For many, that is the simple, yet profound, experience of being deeply and unconditionally loved. Perhaps you've felt the sting of disappointment, the pain of rejection, or the emptiness of a love that was given with conditions. These experiences can leave a void in our hearts, making it difficult to fully grasp the idea of a perfect love.
But the good news is that God's love is unlike any human love. The prophet Jeremiah reminds us that God has loved us with an "everlasting love" and has drawn us with "unfailing kindness." His love is not a fleeting emotion or a reward for good behavior. It is a vast, unending, and pure force that is meant to heal our hearts and fill the empty spaces within us. This love was proven most extraordinarily—through the ultimate sacrifice of His son, Jesus, on the cross. That single act of selfless love is the bedrock of our faith.
Tonight, as you rest, remember that you are loved beyond measure by a God who knows you completely and has a good plan for your life. His love is not something you have to earn; it's a gift you simply need to accept. Allow His unfailing kindness to wash over you, filling you with a confidence that comes from knowing you are cherished by the one who created you.
The Key Take Away
God's love for us is everlasting, unconditional, and so profound that it can heal our hearts and give us the confidence to face the world.
Let's Pray ...
Heavenly Father, thank you for your everlasting love. Forgive me for the times I have doubted your affection or tried to earn your approval. Tonight, I simply receive your love as a gift. Fill my heart with your unfailing kindness and help me to rest in the security of knowing I am cherished by you. Amen.
