I have loved you with an everlasting love.
—Jeremiah 31:3
God doesn’t always step in and stop suffering, but his love is assured in good times and bad. His love is unfailing and unshakable: “Though the mountains be shaken . . . yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken” (Is 54:10).
The apostle Paul declared that nothing—“neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future . . . nor anything else in all creation”—can separate us from God’s love (Rom 8:38–39).
You will never be where God’s love isn’t. You may not see it; you may not seek it; you may not believe it; you may not accept it. But you cannot escape it.
His is an everlasting love. It couldn’t be otherwise, for God is everlasting and “God is love” (1 Jn 4:16).
The measure of God’s love
is that he loves without measure.
