Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?
Just before I read this question, I opened my Bible app and read the verse of the day.
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
Deuteronomy 7:9
A covenant of love. A promise of love that never fails, love that never gives up. That’s God’s love.
God felt distant to me for years. I wasn’t going to church or reading my Bible. Then, something awful happened in my community, the Columbine High School mass shooting. This devastating example of evil made me turn to God, the source of all that is good. I found a church and felt God’s love surrounding me. I recommitted my life to Him.
God is faithful even when we aren’t. Just as he didn’t give up on the Israelites, He didn’t give up on me. He never left my side.
