Endless Good aka Everlasting Love
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.Jer.31:3
Everlasting; adj. infinite, never-ending, eternal, immortal, abiding, perpetual, timeless, unending, enduring
How heartbreaking to never move beyond the point of seeing Godsimply as a kill-joy and rule giver, though we all want and need loveHow pitiful/terrible is the belief in the existence of Himwithout the joy of the love from and for Him!!
(I've shared this song many times because I love it so much)
Ah, From His everlasting loveand Receive the endless good in which unbelief has no part
…and pray the Lord, for love’s increase, the greatest gift He grantsIs like a glorious masterpiece in every circumstanceTo anchor faith and hope, so doubt does not cause us to be
Oh, what a precious family is the family of GodWhose trust is not in what we see but in His faithful wordHis promises more dear than anything this world can boastLike a wellspring of endless good unto the uttermost
For every good and perfect gift comes down from up aboveAnd nothing can deplete the measure of love’s treasure troveWhere, as the love of God becomes alive in you and IHis joy is like a fountain that no sorrow can run dry
…no matter what befalls, love bears us up to bear all thingsChrist in us makes love able to suffer all that life bringsThen, though we do not know what waits, Love none can comprehendThrough He who WAS, IS and WILL BE is faithful without end
