His Love
Read Psalms 115-118

Psalm 118:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 2 Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.” 3 Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.” 4 Let those who fear the LORD say: “His love endures forever.”

HIS LOVE, his love, his love, his love pours over you. His love does not stop when you feel alone. His love keeps coming when you are discouraged. His love spreads over your heart when it is empty.
His love: You see it in the hand of someone who helps an elderly person walk down the street. His love: You hear it in the voice of one who says, “How can I pray for you?” His love: You touch it when a loved one comes and sits beside you just to be beside you.
His love: You know it when someone corrects you from a wrong thing you do that harms you. His love: You find it in the first light of dawn on a warm spring day—winter is gone, new growth comes. His love: You know its power when a child comes and raises her arms to be picked up into your yours.
His love is a going-to-the-cross, I’ll die for you, I’ll come and save you kind of love. Weep, my friends, in joy that the Father loves you so deeply and eternally. Let your tears wash over you and embrace the happiness you feel. Let your gratitude for his love warm your soul and ease your mind.
His love: It’s free. For you. Just ask. “And (You will not die but live, and (you) will proclaim what the LORD has done. (Ps 118:17)


Pause and Consider: ways to feel his love in you.
