"I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with
loving kindness. I will build you up again and you will
be rebuilt, O virgin, Israel."
Jeremiah 31:3-4
When you feel unloved, when you feel lost, alone or taken advantage of, remember this verse. In your lowest moments remember that you are loved by the creator of the universe and let that be your comfort. Remember that our God loves YOU with an everlasting love, and He draws you in with His kindness. Remember that our brokenness and sadness are simply an oportunity for God to come to our rescue and build us up. I've had my brokenness, but you know what? Maybe mine is nothing compared to yours. Maybe my scars run no where near as deep as yours do, but the intensity of the pain has nothing to do with whether or not God can handle it. Something about that "everlasting love" that God extends us gives me the chills. No matter how awful my day is going, no matter how sad I feel, or I lost I seem, there is someone who draws me to Him with an everlasting loving kindness. There are inspirational quote and speakers in abudance, but the only thing that can give you a lasting comfort is God and His word. One of my greatest fears is being unloved, and unlovable, but every time I have that fear God comes up beside me and reminds me that He loves me, and that He is enough. Sometimes I am cruel, and I act as if God's love is not enough for me, but the truth is that God's love is more than enough for me! I want it to consume me and I want it to consume you. I want to know God's love so deeply that the overflow of my life is a reflection of who He is. "Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded... so there is hope for your future declares the Lord."- Jeremiah 31: 16-17
