Everlasting Love

"...the LORD appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, I have continued my faithfulness to you." ~Jeremiah 31:3

I found this sweet verse the other night when I was studying for our Life Group. If you don't already know, I help teach (with two other wonderful Godly women) the junior/senior girls. We are studying Paul and his life, and this verse was in the workbook. When I read it, I honestly worshipped. I mean, WOW! HE, the LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS, loves ME with an EVERLASTING LOVE. And THAT'S why He's FAITHFUL! Notice that the verse says nothing about what I did to deserve this love... HE loves ME... That's why when I drift off, He's still right here. He may feel far away, but that's b/c I've drawn away.

And that, my friends, is a sweet reminder.

Especially today. Today should be Monday b/c it certainly has a Monday attitude. It's rainy, like inches of rain raining. The type of rain where you have to go 10 mph. I woke up tired b/c I hadn't slept well. I had to visit a community college, and I certainly wasn't looking forward to swimming to the front door with all of my stuff. On top of that, let's just say it wasn't my most successful visit.

To top it all off, on the way to the office, approximately 12 noon, I hit a vehicle at a stop sign. I have never hit anyone. Never wrecked. PRAISE THE LORD! (Again, not me. He gets the glory!) Thankfully, there was no damage since I simply tapped the vehicle, but still, really?! Thankfully, the man was quite nice. We exchanged information in case there was some damage unseen, but really praying that nothing happens!

At any rate, despite my less-than-cheery attitude today, He loves me with an everlasting love. What a bright reminder on this dreary day!
