Steadfast Love




The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
His mercies never come to an end;
They are new every morning,
New every morning

Great is your faithfulness, O Lord,
Great is your faithfulness!




The refrain from the popular hymn reminds us of God’s unwavering love for His believers. His love for us is available continuously every day, and we can rely on that promise during trials and tribulation. His love and peace are unfathomable, infinite and are always offered to overcome the most difficult experiences in life.

If God’s love is so abundant, why then do some hold back their love and concern from others. Here are a few possible reasons.

Some of us may not be a “people person” who are comfortable reaching out to others. Others cannot overcome generational differences and personal backgrounds. Some face fatigue from serving the Lord. It’s now time to take a break.

Why not face each morning with the promise that the Lord’s mercies being poured out afresh upon our concerns? Know no young people? Or senior adult? Focus on one and start praying for him/her no matter how brief or fleeting the prayer may be. Trust the Lord will provide an opportunity to share who you are praying for during your quiet-time.

Dealing with a fractured family? Pray for wisdom and direction. Any situation can improve through prayer and God’s steadfast love.

Concerned with personal issues? Pray for the Lord to reveal what would work for your set of circumstances.
