God’s perfect love – Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” (Jeremiah 31:3)
Dear friend, today the Lord says in Jeremiah 31:3, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” The connecting verse is from Hosea 11:4, “I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them.” Whenever I used to lift our little granddaughter Katie, I used to lift her to my cheeks and I would feed her with all love. She would enjoy me and forget herself and have her food.
Yes, from today onwards you are going to feel God’s love more closer. God fed the Israelites also in the same way. This is the loving kindness of God, dear friend. During my mom’s first anniversary I was crying a lot thinking of her. Then when I was reading the Bible, the Lord showed me 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14, “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”
The above word of God came exactly to me that day to comfort me. This is the loving kindness of God. He sends the right word, the right people and the right circumstances in our life at the right time. His ways are perfect (Psalm 18:30). His love for us is perfect (1 John 4:18) and His perfect love casts out all our fear. Out of His unfailing love He will provide us all that we need. He will only do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). There will never be a moment God’s everlasting love will fail you. Even today, allow this love to fill your heart.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
Whether I sit or rise up, whatever I do help me feel Your everlasting love. Thank You for the promise that You have loved me always. Let Your abundant love flow into my heart. Let Your Word come to me everyday and let me be drawn close to You by Your loving kindness.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
