Thoughts…
Have you heard the phrase, “I love you so much it hurts”? Have you ever felt that way about someone? I have. I am a mom and there have been times something happened to one of my kids and it quite literally hurt me because I love them so much.
1 Chronicles uses the word ’endures’ when describing God’s love for you. Endures means to suffer or to remain in existence. Now I know you are immediately jumping to His love lasts forever and you wouldn’t be wrong. However, can you see how He suffers for you also?
He is in pain when you are in pain. He gets hurt when you disobey. Do you think it was easy to see Jesus beaten, tortured, and hung on a cross? God suffered through that pain because He loved you.
Yes, God’s love will last forever because frankly He loves you so much it hurts!
