Extravagant Love
“God has never failed me. Even in my greatest difficulties, heaviest trials, and deepest poverty and need. He has never failed me. Because I was enabled by God’s grace to trust Him. He has always come to my aid. I delight in speaking well of His name.” ~ George Mueller
I can say the same, God has never failed me. Even on days when I wonder where He is and why my situation doesn’t change, God has never failed me. Even when I couldn’t see what would happen next, (even when I didn’t like what would happen next) God has never failed me.
Even when I wallowed in the mud of sin or self-pity, God picked me up, dusted me off, and set me on my feet again, granting unfailing, unmerited, grace and favor. He has never failed to bless me with food when the pantry was bare. He has never failed to hold me close in times of sorrow.
God has never failed to heal the wounds of the past. He has never failed to grant beauty through His wonderful creation. He has never failed to supply my every need. And every day God never fails to lavish His extravagant love.
Oh sweet Heavenly Father, I delight in speaking well of Your name. Open my eyes to see how You have worked in my life and how You are working. Thank You that Your love never fails. Capture my heart again in Your extravagant, intimate, intoxicating, unfailing love.
“How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.” ~ Psalm 36:7 (NIV)
“The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you.” ~ 2 Corinthians 13:14 (MSG)
