God’s steadfast love for you never ceases!

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lam. 3:22-23 ESV)

Yellow ribbon on the oak tree

The1970’s hit song, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree,”sung by Tony Orlando and Dawn, is about a man coming home on a bus after serving time in prison. He has written a letter to the woman he loves saying to tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree if she still wants him in her life. And he will “stay on the bus, and forget about us” if he doesn’t see a yellow ribbon on the tree. When he arrives, he is greatly surprised to see “a hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree!” It was a great song about steadfast love. The passage of Scripture at top says, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.” You can count on God’s love to continue for you steadfastly!

God’s steadfast love for you endures forever!

“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” (Psalms 118:1-4 ESV)

Nothing can separate you from the love of God

“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom. 8:38-39 ESV)

Therefore…

“Praise the Lord, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!” (Psalms 117:1-2 ESV)
