He’ll Keep Loving You
How many times have
you messed up, because the lifestyle you’re living doesn’t show you believe in
God? Along the way you repent only to do
the same wrong things again and again repeating the tiresome cycle. If you’re
like the majority of people, your answer would be loads of times.
You think you’ve let God
down and have to start over, so you go back to the beginning trying to make
things right with Him. Soon you realize
you failed again, so the process continues back at square one never letting you
get beyond that point.
If you aren’t a believer
in Christ Jesus, you can resolve this quickly by saying a prayer for salvation. However, for those of us who have already
trusted in Jesus as our Lord, as you know, that road to repentance is heavily
traveled.
I’ve
got good news for everyone, nothing you do will ever separate you from the love
of God. You have been set free from sin
and the past.
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor
principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height
nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39 NKJV)
Once you are a child
of the Living God, you don’t ever have to go back to the beginning with
God. Just start where you last fell from
His grace.
“And now you celebrate your freedom from your former master
(which was) sin. You’ve left its bondage, and now God’s perfect
righteousness holds power over you as His loving servants.”
(Romans 6:18 TPT/ emphasis mine)
Even though I’ve
gotten some things totally wrong, the most amazing thing I’ve come to realize
is that it doesn’t affect God’s love for me. He keeps loving and forgiving, despite how often I come to the cross for forgiveness.
No matter the amount of times you travel down the wrong path of life in rebellion causing you to fall out of God’s will, there is hope. As long as you seek His forgiveness, because of grace He’ll keep on loving you. (cw)
