Jeremiah 31:3
... Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.
Everlasting love? That means it lasts, or endures, through all time. Uh-huh forever. Endlessly. Eternity upon eternity!
Can you wrap your mind around the reality of this? God's love for us never ceases even when our behavior is hurtful toward Him; when we ignore Him and go our own way, doing our own thing, living our own lives our heavenly Father just keeps right on loving us and yearning for us to love Him in return. Even when we don't love ourselves, He still loves us.
And when we have a problem, He wants to fix it for us, in the same way that we want to make everything right for our children. The difference, of course, is that we can't always do it. But God is the solution, and He is well able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that we can ask or even think! (Eph. 3:20)
Oh, yes ... He's an AWESOME God!
