Fingerprints of God #6 - Steadfast Love

Awake Us Now

Steadfast Love – by Pastor Chris Dodge Lamentations may be the saddest book in the entire Bible. Yet even in the heart of this rather grim lament there are words of amazing comfort and assurance. The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. - Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV) God’s steadfast love is sure and certain no matter what may be happening in our lives. He is dependable even when nothing else is. We live in a culture that often trivializes love and underestimates evil. Real love is costly and sacrificial. That is powerfully demonstrated at the cross of Jesus. The Bible says: This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. (1 John 4:10) The steadfast love of God offers life for eternity and transformation power for today. Because his love is so powerful, it can transform all who receive it. Check out that transforming power.
