God’s unfailing love – Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” (Isaiah 54:10)
Dear friend, today the Lord’s compassion is going to overflow in your life. The promise which the Lord has for you today is from Isaiah 54:10. “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” Yes, our Lord is full of love. He is full of compassion. Many things may leave you and people may leave you but the Lord says ‘my steadfast love will never be removed.’ In the days of Jesus, many of his disciples went away from him. When they heard the living words of Jesus, they said that it was a hard saying and none can understand it and left Jesus. However, Jesus turned to his 12 close disciples and asked them, ‘my friends, will you also leave me?’ Jesus knows the agony of people being forsaken. He walked through that path.
You may also have the experience of family and friends leaving you, or losing the love of your dear ones, or driven out of your home and living all alone. This is where God says to you, ‘many people may leave you but my steadfast love will never be removed from you.’ The Lord says he will never leave you nor forsake you. When the Lord Jesus sojourned on this earth, he saw a widow crying over her only son as the people were carrying his coffin by the roadside. When Jesus saw the tears of this widow, he could not move forward. He came near the coffin and touched the dead man and said “young man, arise.” The young man got up immediately and began to speak. The Lord gave his live man to his mother (Luke 7:11-15). That is the love of our Lord Jesus dear friend.
With the same unfailing love, God says, ‘I am with you. You will lose nothing. My love will resurrect everything in your life.’ Zephaniah 3:17 says “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Yes, in his love he will no longer rebuke you. In Romans 8:35-37, we see “nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.” You may go through trouble, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger or sword, but they cannot separate you from the love of Jesus. People and things may leave you but God says “I am with you and my steadfast love will never leave you.”
Prayer:
My loving heavenly father,
as we meditated today, I have lost many things and the love my family and friends. Because of your steadfast love, let everything I have lost come back to me in double measure. Restore the health I have lost. Touch and heal me with all your love. Comfort me Lord. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
