God’s Unfailing Love Never Lets Go…
Before the mountains had their names,
before the rivers found the sea,
before the stars were set like flames
across the dark of eternity
You loved me.
Not because I earned it,
not because I came to You clean,
not because my hands were worthy
or my heart was in between
You loved me still.
“I have loved you with an everlasting love,”
You whispered into Jeremiah’s pen,
and every word fell down like light
and it is true today as it was then.
Everlasting.
Not for a season.
Not until I failed You one too many times.
Not a love that checks the ledger,
counts the cost,
or draws its lines.
A love that chased me into the wilderness
and found me in the dark.
A love that knew my every fracture
and still chose to call me Yours
not despite the broken places,
but right there,
in the middle of the scars.
I have wandered far from mercy.
I have doubted in the night.
I have stood inside the storm and screamed
that nothing would be right.
And still
You were there.
Not at a distance.
Not with folded arms and silence.
But close.
Closer than my breathing.
Closer than my fear.
With gentle hands that never let me go
no matter how I tried to disappear.
This is not a love like human love
fragile, tired, keeping score.
This is the love that split the darkness,
that walked out of the grave,
that says I love you
and then loves you
even more.
Everlasting means it has no end.
But here is what undoes me
it has no beginning either.
You did not start to love me
when I turned and came back home.
You loved me in my wandering.
You loved me in my shame.
You loved me when I couldn’t
even whisper out Your name.
Oh, what a love this is
too wide for me to measure,
too deep for me to find the floor,
too high to see the ceiling,
and it runs right to my core.
Draw me close with lovingkindness,
as You promised long ago.
Let me rest inside the truth of it
that I am loved
by a love
that will never,
never let me go. 🕊️
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.”
— Jeremiah 31:3 💛
