God's love is relentless


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

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
