How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
- Psalms 36:7
The love of God is a priceless, free gift!
All the riches, money and fame in the world combined still cannot compare to the treasure that is God’s unfailing love.
You don’t have to possess the world’s treasure in order to be rich in the eyes of your Heavenly Father.
This unfailing love is given freely to anyone who wants it! There is no fee or performance we must put on in order to earn God’s love.
Reflect on how your Savior willingly went to the cross to endure unimaginable suffering for you.
His willingness to suffer is a result of the immeasurable love He holds for you.
While the riches of this world will rust and only last for a short time, God’s unfailing love for you is eternal.
This amazing wealth of love belongs to you forever, and no one can take it away!
Regardless of how much wealth we have here on earth, the priceless treasure of God’s love is our daily portion.
Knowing this free gift is secured for us in eternity, we can walk boldly through our life on earth every single day.
Today, be encouraged as you reflect on His love. Not only is it immeasurable and priceless, but it is unfailing! You can rely on His love more than anything or anyone else.
Your beloved Savior has everything you need!
With Love,
Sarah Sherstad

Message from Kara
I love the picture this verse gives us of God's love. He doesn't simply tell us that He loves us—He invites us to take refuge in that love.
There are times when life feels like too much, and our first instinct can be to figure everything out on our own. I've had those moments too. But God gently reminds us that we don't have to carry everything ourselves.
We can come to Him.
Whatever you're facing today, I hope you'll remember that God's love is a safe place. You don't have to have everything figured out before you run to Him. You can bring your questions, your fears, your weariness, and your uncertainty right into His presence.
His love is still covering you. His presence is still near. And you can rest there.
With Love,
Kara
