His Love Endures ~

For the past couple of weeks, this song of God's love for me has been playing over and over in my heart and has given me great comfort. 
{"His love endures... FOREVER His love endures,... forever His love endures,... forever and ever!"}

So many sad things have happened this week to friends of mine or friends of friends. My heart has been so heavy, and broken for so many; praying for God's comfort, His mercy, His power in miracles and His love to surround. I don't understand His ways, but I know even in the darkest night - His love endures forever.
When I've gotten frustrated at His way, when I've questioned Him and His decisions, even in the midst of my pain .... He still loves me. Forever.

{"We have found our hope, we have found our peace, we have found our rest, in the One who loves"}

We have learned this fundamental truth in Sunday School- Jesus Loves Us. Why then, are we at times in such deficit?  Why do we question His love when life hurts and does not make sense?
"Don't be afraid. Dear Zion, don't despair. Your God is present among you, a strong Warrior there to save you... He'll calm you with His love and delight you with His songs." Zephaniah 3:16

Let's remind ourselves today to live in that pure child-like faith.
I pray this often over myself, and today I pray this for you as well.

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."  Ephesians 3:17-20
