Chatting with Jesus
Wednesday, August 10, 2022
Lord, Scripture states Your faithful love endures forever (Psalm 107:1). Your love is eternal, without beginning and without end. Unlike human love, Your love is always accompanied with grace and mercy. Maybe another way of putting this truth is Your love “puts up” with us, fallen humanity. And, Lord, You sure put up with a lot.
Your faithful love puts up with the religious self-righteous who are quick to judge without mercy or compassion. They will be humbled to discover Your faithful love, mercy and grace when their great downfall occurs, which is sure to happen.
Your faithful love tenderly puts up with those poor souls whose lives are train-wrecked by addictions. Society rejects them, but Your faithful love, mercy, and grace reaches out to them to restore them to a meaningful life.
Your faithful love patiently puts up with those who deny You exist. When their world falls apart and they have nothing to hold on to, You reveal Your faithful love, mercy, and grace that transforms them into a Christ-follower. They cannot stop telling the world of Your life-changing reality.
And Your faithful love puts up with inconsistent Christ-followers who are all-in for You one day — You and me Jesus, all the way, — but are unfaithful the next, acting as if they never heard Your name before. Your enduring love humbles us and draws us into a deeper relationship with You. Without Your grace, we would be so miserable.
Thank You, Lord, for Your enduring faithful love. It sustains me. Amen.
THANKFUL
