Relentless Love

Psalm 106: 43-46

Many times He delivered them; but they rebelled in their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.” Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry; and for their sake He remembered His covenant...”

 

My journey in life has brought me into a few relationships that have challenged me. By challenged I mean when my patience, my compassion, and my love was put to the test.  I think it’s normal for all of us to run into these moments in the course of a full and active life. So it’s not the moments that are on my mind, but the historical review of how I’ve handled the moments.

 

I’ve never considered myself the best role model as I’ve failed from time to time to keep my tongue from wagging, to keep my responsive actions inline, or my thoughts from getting less than pure. But I’m guessing you’ve found your storyline cluttered with the same kinds of blemishes.

 

Upon this realization I’ve grown increasingly grateful for God’s relentless love. In Psalm 106:43-46 regarding the Israelites exodus we read, “Many times He delivered them; but they rebelled in their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.” Over and over the cycle was repeated. They sinned. God judged. They repented. God saved. They sinned... sound familiar? “Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry; and for their sake He remembered His covenant...” God’s plan to redeem us is relentless.

 

Lord, it’s with grateful hearts that we come to you recognizing just how much you love us. We ‘re forever indebted to your relentless attention. Helps us to find it in our own hearts, to return that love just as relentlessly to the world we live in.

 

Pray on...
