| Dear Young Christian: |
| This morning, I spoke on the phone with an elderly Christian lady who has been a mother figure in my life for many years. She always has some godly counsel, every time I call. Today, it was simply the following verse “Keep yourselves in the love of God” (Jude 21).She reminded me of the need to walk and live in the sunshine and warmth of that great, unchanging love. |
| I believe this is good advice for all of us. It is not so much a question of worrying about our love for Him, but realizing and enjoying His love for us. “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10).In the measure in which we enjoy that “great love wherewith He loved us” (Ephesians 2:4), it will unconsciously form our response of love for Him. Our love may change like the weather, but God’s love never changes. He says, “I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee” (Jeremiah 31:3). |
