{Nothing can separate, even if I ran away. Your love never fails}
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39) Nothing. Nothing can separate us from His love. No matter what we do in our lives. We will always be loved by God.
{I know I still make mistakes, but You have new mercies for me everyday. Your love never fails.}
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). We (Those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior) have been forgiven and our sins have been paid for on the cross. His mercies are new everyday. The devil likes to constantly remind us of our faults. When we have regrets and dwell on our past, we are wasting time worrying about things that have already been forgiven by the One that matters.
{You stay the same through the ages. Your love never changes. There may be pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning.}
God's love will never change. It will be the same for every. single. person. One of the aspects of God's love is that He cares and knows about our future. "For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). Also, "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). So, no matter what happens in our lives, if we love God, he will work all things for our good. There may be pain in the night. We may go through hard things, but God will work it for the good. Joy will come in the morning. He cares for you. He loves you.
But I'm not alone here in these open seas
{And when the oceans rage, I don't have to be afraid, because I know that You love me. Your love never fails.}
God is watching out for us and we do not need to be afraid. He is in control and we need to trust Him. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified... for the Lord your God goes with you" (Deuteronomy 31:6).
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone here in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails
You make all things work together for my good
{Your Love Never Fails by Jesus Culture}
If you take away one thing from this post, I want you to realize that God loves you. No matter what.
How deep the Father's love for us.
