It Doesn't Stop!

"being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6

This verse can be such an encouragement! It tells us straight up that God will continue to work in us for pretty much our entire lifetimes. We don't need to be afraid or worried that one day we're going to wake up and God is going to decide to be done with us. He isn't. He isn't going to decide that we've messed up too much and we're not worth the work. We're always worth the work. He will never give up on us, and we can be confident in the love God has for us. He is a God of Love and he will see us completely through to the end.

"Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands." Deuteronomy 7:9

Our God is a loving and just God. All we need to do is love Him in return, and He will be faithful to us until the end of time.

"He said: "O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way." 2 Chronicles 6:14

We can rejoice daily in the knowledge that God is love and He loves us. He loves me. He loves you. He will never, ever abandon us and leave us to our own devices. This is such a wonderful thought to begin the day with. God is with us when we wake, and He is with us when we sleep. He sees our hearts and our desires and every day He loves us. What could be a better thought than that- that every single day I can bask in His love. Those days when I am struggling and wish I could do better I can rest in the assurance that God loves me, and He will never leave me.

"The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17
