God's Love For Us

Scripture:

Song of Solomon 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:

Many people interpret Song of Solomon as a story demonstrating the love of God for us.  Personally, I feel like it is just a story of the love of Solomon's life, but I'm going to go with the flow today because it is true of God's love.  Here it tells us that many waters cannot quench love and rivers cannot sweep it away.  In other words, God's love for us cannot be stopped.

Application:

Just like you can't stop a river, the love of God for you will never stop.  Just like quenching a fire is extremely difficult, the love of God for us is unstoppable.  He loves us so deeply we cannot comprehend it.  His love for us has already paid the highest price possible, yet He continues to demonstrate that love to us over and over when we let Him down and fail Him.  If there is one things we can depend on in life, it is the fact that God loves us.

Prayer:

Father, thank you for loving me so strongly.  You never let go, never give up, and never stop loving us.  As the song declares, "Your love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on me".  You are amazing and my heart is secure because I know that Your love never fails.

Thanks,
Jeff
