“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” (1 Chronicles 16:34)

A small child learning to walk will fall many times. But the father never walks away—he picks the child up, brushes off the dirt, and says, “Try again.” The child’s confidence is not in never falling, but in knowing Dad is always there.

God’s love is the same. We may stumble, but His love never lets us go.

The Bible’s Definition of Love

“Love is patient and kind… it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” (1 Cor. 13:4–8 ESV)

“… God is love.” (1 John 4:8)

How God Showed His Love

God didn’t just say He loves us—He proved it.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son…” (John 3:16 ESV)

“God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom. 5:8 ESV)

Therefore

God’s love is everlasting, unshakable, and personal. Nothing can take it away. Therefore, live with gratitude and confidence today. Rest in His love, and share that same love with others.

We are His children, cherished and secure (1 John 3:1).

He delights in us with singing (Zeph. 3:17).

Nothing can ever separate us from His love (Rom. 8:37–39).

And we love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19).
