Fear not, for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God…–Isaiah 41:10
Absolutes are often frowned on in our culture. Whether it’s absolute truth about God, His Word, or morality, progressive thinking deviates from absolutes. The unchanging truth that God has always loved us and always will is hard for some people to fathom. But it is a truth that defies the critics, a love that will not let us go.
Fortunately, God’s love doesn’t depend on how well we love Him back. We don’t earn it, deserve it, or maintain it. Unlike human love, it has no conditions and no limits. Yet think of the mental energy people needlessly expend in anxiety over messing up and somehow losing His love.
God loves you at the top of the mountain, and He loves you equally in the depths of the valley. Maybe in your pain you have torn yourself from His arms. Even then, God’s love remains intact in spite of your anger. When you cease striving and simply begin to trust the rope–the infinite love of God–you will discover marvelous power, astounding power, supernatural power. You need never let go of your hope because God will never let go of His love for you. Rest in His grip!(Turning Point).
He loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.–C. S. Lewis
