The Steadfast Love Of God!

“Yet day by day the Lord also pours out his steadfast love upon me” Psalms 42:8.

Bible does not just say God loves us. It says God is love. (John 4:16(b). It means God pours out and fills in His love for people. God’s love is steadfast. Steadfast means resolute, unwavering, loyal, faithful, devoted, dedicated, dependable, constant, and solid.

David, the King of Israel, says in this Psalm that even though he is faced with tough, severe trials and troubles, day by day, the Lord also pours out His steadfast love upon him amid his difficulties. You see, God’s love, which is steadfast, is strong enough to face all the challenges of our lives.

Do you know the reason why we can love one another? Bible says, 1 John 4:19, “We love because He first loved us.” We would never have understood love unless we knew how much God loves us. Those who experienced the love of God have received the greatest gift of all. Nothing can compete for this gift of love. Because “God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” (Romans 5:5).

How do I know God is love? The one unique way He expressed His love toward us is by giving His only Son for our sins to die in our place. One of the most loved verses in the Bible is this – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, and placed all the curses and punishment of our sins on Him, and He became the sacrificial lamb to remove the guilt of sins from us. This way, He reconciled us to Him in a loving fellowship and relationship. Human minds would not imagine such love—however, this is how God loved you, my dear friend.

Another Bible verse I love is this -“the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Aren’t you glad about this verse? His steadfast love never ceases. People’s love ceases. But his love never. It never comes to a stop signal. It never ends. On top of all these, God’s love is new every morning. His love starts fresh every day. It is not a leftover love. It is fresh and new every morning. God guarantees it in Lamentations 3:22-23.

Beloved, Don’t you crave such love? Here is what God says to you, “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” (Isaiah 41:13). You will never get much love from anybody on this earth. God promises He can pour out His love in your hearts. I sincerely hope you will receive His offer of love today.

Got a moment for today’s prayer? “Father in heaven, I need your steadfast, constant, faithful, never-ending, and always fresh love. Please pour your love into my heart. I believe You sent your Son, Jesus Christ, and allowed Him to die and rise again for all my sins. I accept Him into my life. Please save me and bless me with your love. In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.”
