In all the craziness of our world, there’s at least one thing that hasn’t happened yet: The mountains haven’t disappeared. That’s impossible! Why would I even mention that? Because God does. Here’s his promise: “‘Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,’ says the Lord, who has compassion on you” (Isaiah 54:10). That’s how unfailing God’s love for you is! Even if the impossible were to happen, even if the mountains start disappearing or falling into the sea, God’s love for you will never change.
We have a children’s Bible at our house that has a beautiful and creative way to talk about God’s love. The “Jesus Storybook Bible” loves to repeat this phrase: God’s Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love. Over and over again in God’s Word, from God’s grace to sinners like Adam and Eve to God’s goodness to people like Abraham and Sarah to Jesus our Savior dying on the cross, God loves us with his Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love.
Here’s the most important part: That unfailing love is true today for you too. Even if you look out your window and the mountains start disappearing, God’s unfailing love for you will not be shaken. It’s the Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever kind of love.
