He loves you forever

My dad said these words often when he preached. He would always remind his congregation:

"If you don’t remember anything else I have said. Remember this. You are loved! You are loved unconditionally by a greater love than you can ever imagine! God loves you, now and forever!"

Those words of wisdom found a place deep inside of me. I have found myself remembering them over and over again in my life. As I learned, grew, struggled, and stumbled those words stayed in my heart. They helped me to rise up and try again every time I fell. They helped me to find my own love for God, for myself, and for others. They became a central part of who I am and what I teach and preach. The one gift I hope to give all of you is this truth. Please remember then that "You are loved" and know that "God loves you, now and forever!"

-God's love is unconditional.

-God's love is everlasting.

-God's love never ceases.

-God won't let anything separate you form His love.

-God's love will never let you down like people do.

-God's love will prevail.

-God's love brings peace and contentment.

Enjoy it. Share it. Live it. Treat it with care. It does and will last for all of eternity.
