We have our limits!  Our patience runs thin.  Our patience can run out.  People say they stop loving…and couples divorce.  But should it?  If we are truly complete in Christ, should our love run out?  Jesus tells us in John 13:34,

            “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” 

Do we have a choice?  We love…because He first loved us.  We love Him because He first loved us.  We are to love one another because He first loved us.   “How long,” you ask?

Well…God’s love never fails!  Take a moment and read Psalm 136. Every other line, the Psalmist says: His love endures forever!

Charles Spurgeon preached on 1 John 4:19 many times. He said: “I hope to preach from it a good many more times… for it is one of those inexhaustible wells into which you may let down the bucket every morning, and always pull it up full. It is a mine with a good many seams of the richest ore. You may think that you have dug all its treasures out, but you have only to sink a new shaft, to find that there is another seam just as rich as the former one; and when you have brought all that wealth to the surface—and that may take your whole lifetime—someone else may… open up a fresh vein.”

David Jeremiah says: “We should take this verse into our heart today! Only eight words, yet the wealth of heaven is contained in the syllables! Say it aloud. Ponder it. Imagine it. Believe it. Rest on your pillow tonight with this simple sentence ushering you to sleep.”

No matter what we face in life, God will always love us. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from His love!  “We love Him because He first loved us.”

“The love of God to his people is omnipotent; there is no force in nature that can for a single moment be compared with it.”
