“The Love of God”
By Dianne Prince
“But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.” — Psalm 86:15 (NIV)
We all know that life does not always go the way we expect. Some days are smooth and other days can be real bumpy. But one thing we can always count on is God’s love for us.
This verse reminds us of three things I want us to hold on to today.
First, God’s love never changes. No matter what we are faced with, God sees us. He knows when we are hurting, when we are worried, and when we just do not know what to do. We do not always have all the answers, but we can rest in knowing that God does and He cares enough about us to tell us what to do..
Second, God is patient with us. Let’s face it, we all make mistakes. Sometimes we get things wrong, but God does not give up on us. He gives us grace, forgives us, and helps us do better. I’m so grateful that He gives us another chance to get back up and keep going.
And third, God is always faithful. Life changes. Our circumstances change. But God does not change. When we are weak, He gives us strength. When we do not know what to do, we can ask Him for guidance. And when we cannot see a way forward, we can trust Him to cut a path through.
So, as you go about your day, remember that you do not have to handle everything on your own.
Lean on God’s love. Trust His patience. And hold on to His faithfulness.
No matter what today brings your way, remember this: God is with you, God cares for you, and His love will hold you steady.
