Love Won’t Stop

Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 15–16; John 3:1–18

Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep. Luke 15:6

After I turned nineteen, and years before I owned a pager or a cell phone, I moved more than seven hundred miles away from my mom. One morning, I left early to run errands, forgetting our scheduled call. Later that night, two policemen came to my door. Mom had been worried because I’d never missed one of our chats. After calling repeatedly and getting a busy signal, she reached out to the authorities and insisted they check on me. One of the police officers turned to me and said, “It’s a blessing to know love won’t stop looking for you.”

When I picked up the phone to call my mom, I realized I had accidentally left the receiver off its base. After I apologized, she said she needed to spread the good news to the family and friends she had informed that I’d been missing. I hung up thinking she’d overreacted a bit, though it felt good to be loved that much.

Scripture paints a beautiful picture of God, who is Love, relentlessly beckoning His wandering children. Like a good shepherd, He cares about and seeks out every lost sheep, affirming the priceless value of every beloved child of God (Luke 15:1–7).

Love never stops looking for us. He will pursue us until we’ve returned to Him. We can pray for others who need to know that Love—God—never stops looking for them either.

By Xochitl Dixon

Reflect & Pray

How does it encourage you to know that God continually pursues you in love? How is He using you to reveal His love to others?

Heavenly Father, thank You for pursuing us with persistence and providing a safe place when we return to Your loving arms.

To: All


Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Howdy, Kathy.

LOL! That card is MUCH needed these days! These kittehs have been little monsters and have driven me up the walls.
I went nuclear on them a couple of hours ago, since Hubby was at the garage, and they’ve been VERY quiet ever since.

Did you have a nice time with Dot today?

Have you and Gizmo been having a grand time at the lake? Has he chased more birds or critters?

((LOL))Well, I'e had to leash him so he wouldn't run off and lose me. We did get to hang out at the three branch area though.

And, everything went smoothly last night. Now power blinks, unlike Friday evening with the transformer blowup out by Dollar General.
