God's love is relentless


Lamentations 3:22  NLT
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.

Relentless.  Pretty awesome word.  Dictionaries state it is something that is oppressively constant or inflexible.  There are many things in life that are relentless.  Some of them are great while others aren’t good at all.

When it comes to our God, He really is relentless about us, His kids, and about His character and actions.  For that, I am very grateful.

The group Hillsong United sings a song by the same name, relentless, and I have been rolling over the concepts and truth much that last several hours.  That began as I mowed the grass listening to music.  I played the song several times.  It still has me thinking and praising God.  His love is relentless!

"Relentless"

Salvation sounds a new beginning
As distant hearts begin believing
Redemption's bid is unrelenting
Your love goes on…

You carry us
When the world gives way
You cover us
With Your endless grace
Your love is relentless…

The time is up for chasing shadows
You gave the world a light to follow
A hope that shines beyond tomorrow
Your love goes on…

Tearing through the veil of darkness
Breaking every chain, You set us free
Fighting for the furthest heart You gave
Your own life for all to see…

You carry us,
You cover us,
Your love is relentless...

Powerful truth that is life changing.  When a person understands their value, given by God, everything comes in to perspective.  Believe His love.  Move a little further and look in the proverbial mirror of your heart and see the potential that God has given you.

His character is relentless.  It is the same.  He loves us always.  He is for us always.  He is ready to serve through us and bless others through us.  Let God’s relentless love cover and hold you.  Let others experience that relentless love too.

NOTE: today’s e-devotion will be the last for this month.  They will begin again on July 5th.  Thank you for allowing me to share with you and for allowing my father to be away

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
