Psalms 86:15
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
I almost always write the verse in the NIV version but I read it in several others also. Today, the Message version caught my eye. “But you, O God, are both tender and kind, not easily angered, immense in love, and you never, never quit.” More specifically, the “never quit’ hit my heart.
Our God never quits. He never quits reaching out to that loved one you have been praying for all this time. He hears you and sees you every single time your knees hit that ground and you look up asking Him to once again find a way to bring them back to Him. He not only sees you and hears you, but He continues to send out angels to reach that person. Most importantly, when you are ready to give up and maybe even turn your back on that person, God isn’t! His love and faithfulness know no bounds.
It is so wonderful that God doesn’t quit loving and waiting. He is so very compassionate and gracious. He will not quit on a single person on your prayer list. So don’t you give up because once upon a time you were on someones prayer list too.
Lord you never give up on me, so I will not give up on praying for those in need of you! ~amen
