That's so comforting to me. He is ever faithful, never forgetting me as he blesses me daily. And constantly pursuing? Wow! At the age of 23, I asked Jesus to come into my life. I really meant that! I was so sorry for my sins and determined to turn my life around with the help of my Savior. To live for Him only!
A few years later, when I strayed, I always felt His pursuing presence. If we agree to it, this covenant, His presence will never leave us. Holy Spirit is constantly prodding me along.
His love is lavished on us, unrestrained, and extravagantly in all the large and small blessings of each day. Yes, sometimes, I have to really focus on how He has blessed me because life does seem tough at times. He is the Father who loves that much! I never had an earthly father like that, so it took a while to understand that my heavenly Father could love me so intimately.
When life does get tough, He has given us words to uplift us and set us straight. For instance, Philippians 4:8 which says, "Brothers and sisters, think about the things that are good and worthy of praise. Think about the things that are true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected." (New Century Version)
Dear all loving Father God, we thank you that you are ALWAYS there for us, even when we don’t realize it. We ask you to help us see and feel the depth of your love. We ask your help in extending your love to others, that you would open our eyes and hearts to the need of others who surely would welcome your kind of hesed-love.
