Forever
"Forever" is a hard word for me to wrap my mind around. My three year old, Sophia, likes to use it quite a bit. She'll say something like, "Mom, I will love you forever." She pronounces the 'v' like a 'b.' So, just picture this cute little girl saying things like, "Mom, I will lub you for-eber." "Emma hasn't gi-ben me a turn in for-eber." "Daddy, you ha-bn't been home in for-eber."
Obviously, she doesn't comprehend what forever really means. But, who does? I mean, can you really imagine "forever?"
God's word states, "His love endures forever." Always. Constant. Forever. It never ends. But, that doesn't cover it, because there are times that I wonder if it also "never" started. After all, forever has no beginning as well as no ending. I think it's quite proper to say God's love endures forever--it has always been and it will always be.
I'm grateful that His love endured to my grandparents, to my parents, to me and to my children. Many times I have thought about God's faithfulness reaching from generation to generation. I've thought of it as "stretching from one person to the next." The reality is that it doesn't need to stretch. It's here. It is as forever as God is Himself.
Whatever you might be going through I hope this is a simple reminder that His love will never end; it never began. It has always been. He has always loved you!
Peace
