Enduring Love

This morning as my kids and I were doing a thanksgiving craft, one of the verses I read really stuck with me. In all actuality the whole Psalm stuck with me. The line that it repeats all through out it is "His love endures forever". His love endures. Love isn't necessarily easy, but true love endures. It kind of reminds me of one of my favorite songs from highschool... "You can't hurry love" sung by Phil Collins (I know he isn't the original singer, but his is the version I loved). Not only must love endure, but it doesn't always come easy. Well, it might for God, but it certainly doesn't for those of us that are sinful by nature. I am so thankful that God's love endures forever, and I pray that He can help me to love in that way. I don't want to be known as someone who falls in and out of love, or someone who gets going when the going gets tough. I want to share this quality with God and be known for having His enduring love shown to others through me.

True love endures forever
True love endures heart aches
True love endures pain
True love endures when it would be easier to give up
True love endures hard times
True love endures tears
True love endures when others would turn away
True love endures anger
True love endures mistrust
True love endures when it isn't deserved
True love endures forever



Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.
who spread out the earth upon the waters,
His love endures forever.
who made the great lights—
His love endures forever.
the sun to govern the day,
His love endures forever.
the moon and stars to govern the night;
His love endures forever.
to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt
His love endures forever.
and brought Israel out from among them
His love endures forever.
with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;
His love endures forever.
to him who divided the Red Sea asunder
His love endures forever.
and brought Israel through the midst of it,
His love endures forever.
but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea;
His love endures forever.
to him who led his people through the wilderness;
His love endures forever.
to him who struck down great kings,
His love endures forever.
and killed mighty kings—
His love endures forever.
Sihon king of the Amorites
His love endures forever.
and Og king of Bashan—
His love endures forever.
and gave their land as an inheritance,
His love endures forever.
an inheritance to his servant Israel.
His love endures forever.
He remembered us in our low estate
His love endures forever.
and freed us from our enemies.
His love endures forever.
He gives food to every creature.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven.
His love endures forever.
~Psalm 136
