Love never fails.


Your love, it never fails, it never ends. Your love it never quits, it never stops chasing my soul.  

- You're Never Giving Up by Jonathan David Helser 

This mystery I can never fully grasp, that God, who is Holy and untainted by sin could love those who have been deceived by the power of sin in the midst of their unrighteousness. He is all sovereign and all knowing, so He knows that we are going to sin before we choose that path. Yet He continues to love us and woo our hearts towards Him, despite the fact that our turning away brings Him pain and hurts His Father's heart. Even still, He waits with joy in His heart for the day that the heart of the sinner turns back to the Father of the broken, for He will embrace that one with gladness. Oh how wonderful it is, to be called children of the living God. No matter how far my heart gets from centering on my Father, it is never too far for Him to call it back home.
