Eternal Flame
Great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:23

An
Psalm 92:1-2
eternal flame has been used to memorialize the loss of people of great
significance, such as John F. Kennedy or the soldiers killed in the
American Civil War. The secret to its prolonged existence is an
underground gas line that produces a continuous spark to re-ignite the
flame should it go out momentarily.
God's love for
us is like an eternal flame. The major difference, however, is that His
love never goes out, even for a millisecond. The rainstorms of our
disobedience and the sudden gusts of our fickleness cannot weaken the
fire of His faithfulness to us. He proved that by sending His only Son
to die for an undeserving world, a world full of people that He loves
completely and perfectly.
Let us give
thanks to the Lord for His undying love and commitment to us. We are
cherished by the Creator of the universe and deeply cared for by the
Lord of Lords. And all of this is true despite how inconsistent our
love is for Him. What a comforting thought!
As the psalmist said of God, "Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds" and "endures to all generations"
(Psalms 36:5; 119:90). And though our minds cannot comprehend such
devotion, our hearts can receive His love, and we can praise Him for
His faithfulness.
Christ's shed blood proves God's pledge of total commitment to me.
