Isaiah 42:1-9
Psalm 36:5-11
Hebrews 9:11-15
John 12:1-11
I always knew in life while growing up and even after moving out of the house that my parents would love me no matter what. There were times when I pushed that premise to the outer limits yet time and time again their love shown through and their willingness to continue to care for me and love me with an everlasting love never failed.
I work hard on showing that same love to my children, telling them that no matter what they may do in life I will always love them. It’s not only important to know, it’s even more important to experience.
The psalmist speaks time and again in the brief selection of the psalm of God’s steadfastness found in God’s love and the gifts of God for the people of God. There were days in the early part of my faith journey when I wondered if God would continue to love me or how God could love me given the fact that time and again I failed to correct the wrongs done and committed the same sin over and over again. Somewhere along the way I learned it wasn’t what I did or didn’t do, it was about what God has done in Christ.
God’s steadfast love is enough for me each day and on really trying days, it’s all I need.
