INEXHAUSTIBLE COMPASSION

Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (V)
How enduring is God’s loyal love; (HE) has inexhaustible compassion. Here they are, every morning, new! Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day.

I know that is one of those familiar passages.  It is plastered on plaques, adorns bookmarks and desk ornaments, but I like what the VOICE translation does with it.

How ENDURING is GOD’S LOYAL LOVE?

Love that word ENDURING.
Conjures other phrases like “no matter what” LOVE, “whatever it takes” LOVE, “big enough, strong enough, and passionate enough” LOVE.

I am so glad GOD’S love is ENDURING especially when mine for Him seems rickety as I make poor decisions, choose selfishly or have bouts of ingratitude.  I am so thankful that GOD’s LOVE...
...endures
…well
…ME.

The next phrase, INEXHAUSTIBLE compassion…

For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels won’t, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God’s love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, or where we are—high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean—nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us. Romans 8:38-39 (LB)

Need I say more?

And here is GOD with a HEALTHY and AMAZING dose of both this morning; ENDURING love and INEXHAUSTIBLE compassion as BROAD as the day!

How does that make you feel?
Especially if yesterday wasn’t one of your best!

Though you have changed a thousand times, He has not changed - Spurgeon

Thank GOODNESS!

So grab hold of them with both hands, the ENDURING love & the INEXHAUSTIBLE compassion of GOD.  
Allow them to MOTIVATE and INSPIRE you today!  
Allow them to ENERGIZE and GUIDE YOU!

For remember…
To be loved by God is the highest relationship, the highest achievement, and the highest position in life. - Henry Blackaby

So true.

I love you all…
Have a blessed weekend!
