I can go for a long time without thinking deeply about God’s love. When the sun is shining and all is as I want it to be, I pray my gratitude and go my merry way. But God deserves, more than that, because He is more, He is greater, than His gifts. And not to be taken for granted.

“The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change,
that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life…
God’s love is the only thing like that.”
Timothy Keller

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
Psalm 136: 1-3 NIV

“God’s unconditional love is a very difficult concept for people to accept because,
in the world, there’s always payment for everything we receive.
It’s just how things work here. But God is not like people!”
Joyce Meyer

“I have given God countless reasons not to love me.
None of them has been strong enough to change Him.”
Paul Washer.
***
He remembered us in our low estate
His love endures forever.
and freed us from our enemies.
His love endures forever.
He gives food to every creature.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven.
His love endures forever.
Psalm 136: 23-26
***
God’s thoughts of you are many,
let not yours be few in return.
Charles Spurgeon
