Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

- 1 Chronicles 16:34

His love endures forever!

Take a moment to think about this amazing truth.

The love of God is relentless, immeasurable, unending… it can endure and persevere through anything! He is the forever God of forever love!

Since God’s love is steadfast and enduring, it means God will never give up on you. God will never leave you or forsake you. How good He is!

Because of how good He is, we always have a reason to give thanks and lift up praise to Him.

Even when bad things are happening around the world or our situations look dire, the unchanging goodness of God still stands yesterday, today and forever!

He is the God of joy, peace, mercy, grace, power, majesty, beauty, love and so much more.

His goodness knows no limits, and so our praise and worship of Him should never be limited either!

Today, be reminded of God’s goodness and His steadfast love for you. He hasn’t stopped loving you and never will. He is waiting for you today with open arms to embrace you and wrap you with His unfailing love.

Lift up praise and thanks to His name, for He is good!

“Lord, how good you are! I choose to lift up praises to your name no matter the circumstances, for I know your goodness and love know no limits.”  

With Love,
Sarah Sherstad
