Love is Unstoppable

Scripture:

Song of Songs 8:7  "Many waters cannot quench love, rivers cannot sweep it away.  If one were to give all the wealth of one's house for love, it would be utterly scorned".

Observation:

Solomon understood that love is a powerful force that is unstoppable.  He tells us that many waters cannot quench love.  It is  like an unquenchable fire that won't be put out.  God's love toward us is like this love.  Many waters can't quench it.  It can't be swept away.

Application:

God loves us with such unquenchable love.  He loves us beyond comprehension and His love is unstoppable.  We, as God's children, should demonstrate the same love.  Our love for people and for God should not be stoppable, no matter what they do to us.

Prayer:

Lord, let me love with unstoppable, unquenchable love.  You love me that way, so help me love others that way.  Let me love you and others with real love that never gives up and can't be washed away.

Your Son,
Jeff
