Unfailing Love

Last night at youth group, everyone was all crammed together in the parlor of the church because it has some kick butt air conditioning and it was pretty dang hot. So we're all here in the parlor and we were having praise and worship. I was sitting on the floor and I was just praising God. We sang this song, Unfailing Love. It really hit me. No matter how many times I screw up...God still loves me. I screw up every day. Everday I fail God. Everday I hurt Him. But everyday...He comes back with his arms wide open. It's like this dream someone once told me about...I get up on a stage and I completely hurt this person...I put Him down...I go against everything He's ever taught me and I get off the stage and He is waiting there...with arms wide open and a tear in His eye. I run over into His arms and say I'm sorry...I didn't mean to hurt you. And He says...it's ok...i'm still here...I love you...I forgive you. And it hurts me so that everyday I fall into the jaws of sin and everyday I cause pain to the One that loves me so much. I don't want to hurt the people I love. I am ever grateful for my Father's unfailing love and there is nothing more that I want to do than return that unfailing love. But I'm only human and I do not have the power to give unfailing love. Nor do any of the people around me. The people I am closest to...they can hurt me...they can turn their backs on me....they can give me up...they can put me down...and it scares me that the people I put my trust in could change to something completely different just like that. It scares me that I could be all alone in this world with no one... But that can never be true. Because I have God who gives unfailing love. He will never turn His back on me. He will never give me up. He will never ever go away. He show unfailing love.
