Unfailing Love





Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.    Psalms 107:21






One thing we can always thank God for is that his love never fails.   

We can hold the door for someone.  

We can make them dinner.  

Maybe we can bring someone a steaming hot cup of coffee.  

We may bite our tongue so that we do not hurt them.  

We can speak words of affirmation over them.  

Perhaps we can choose to put others ahead of ourselves.  

All of those things are great.

But it may not cause someone to return our love.  

We live in an imperfect world, 

and even though we can try our hardest to love others, it may fail. 

But God’s love is perfect and can never fail. 

His passion for us is unconditional. 

He doesn’t like some more and some less. 

He loves us when we disappoint him. 

He loves us even when we are in sin and separated from him. 

He chose to care about the one who betrayed him, 

and the ones who yelled crucify him. 

He loves the thief and the evangelist the same. 

Completely, to the very end. 

That’s perfect love.  

I am amazed and grateful for the love God gives. 

It makes even our worst days better and or best days great.


Before I spoke a word
You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me

Before I took a breath
You breathed your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me

The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down
Fight 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it and I don't deserve it
Still you give yourself away
The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God

When I was your foe
Still your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me

When I felt no worth
You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me

The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
It chases me down
Fight 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine

I couldn't earn it and I don't deserve it
Still you give yourself away
The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God

There's no shadow you won't light up
Mountain you won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall you won't kick down
Lie you won't tear down
Coming after me

There's no shadow you won't light up
Mountain you won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall you won't kick down
Lie you won't tear down
Coming after me

There's no shadow you won't light up
Mountain you won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall you won't kick down
Lie you won't tear down
Coming after me

There's no shadow you won't light up
Mountain you won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall you won't kick down
Lie you won't tear down
Coming after me

The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
It chases me down
Fight 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine

I couldn't earn it and I don't deserve it
Still you give yourself away
The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends,  coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug,   a whisper to our heart to move  in one direction or another;  intuition or a sixth sense that one   way or another was right or wrong    Yet, when I listened and obeyed   I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go.                                                                                                      ...

Grow Old Gracefully

I’d like to tell you about a lady I visited yesterday.   She is ninety-five years young.  She recently moved into nursing home.  She asked one of the workers how many times she would have to walk around the outside of the building in order to walk a mile.  She said the person told her about ten.   Then she leaned in really close and whispered, “I walked around twelve just to be sure I walked a mile.”  Hahahaha! What a lady!  She loves to keep active, even in a nursing home.  As we talked, I saw no anger or bitterness in her speech or actions. There was only a love for God, a heart of compassion, and a sense of humor. She has befriended the one "prickly pear" at the home because as she said, “I have to love her, so she knows Jesus loves her too.”  Wow!!! I need to live like that!  I want to show that much compassion for those around me that need Jesus.  She loved to talk about God and what he was teaching her. ...

What’s That Smell?

To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. 2Corinthians 2:16 Last break!  The shift was almost over. Then the unthinkable happened, this man appeared out of nowhere wanting to know where the flashlights were kept.  As we were on our way to the flashlights, I noticed that this man had a very strong odor.  I thought perhaps I could get in front of him so that the smell would not be as strong.   That, however, was not to be either since; he insisted on keeping pace and walking right beside me. By the time we got to where the flashlights were; I was practically running just to keep ahead of him.  I showed him the flashlights and made a hasty exit.  If you’re like me, you shower and even put on perfume or cologne so that you will not stink.  We are concerned that the smell coming from our body is not offensive to others.  As I write this, I wonder if we are as concerned with our spiritual aroma as ...
