Let us contemplate on this verse from Psalm 25:6-7.
Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good. I believe it is a basic human desire to be constantly assured that God loves us, that God remembers us, and that God forgets all our offenses. But the Bible teaches us that God is love and He loves us, whether we are good or bad. But as his children it is so sweet and reassuring to hear directly from God that he loves us. The psalmist begs God to remember. But we know that God cannot forget his beloved children even for a single instant. Even before we remember to say to God, "Remember me", God already remember us. Yes, he remembers, in his mercy, limitless in time, in number, and in power. But again it is so sweet and reassuring to hear from God that he love us. But how do we hear God's reply? Not by any sound, but by faith. This is the wonderful truth that each time we say to God I love you with sincerity, he says I love you first. So our I love you God is in truth a response to God saying I love you. Each morning when I wake up, I found myself, my soul, saying God I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. All day long inside me my soul says to God I love you. I need to remind myself that I can't say I love God sincerely on my own, but I say I love him after he tells me He loves me. This is the truth. Our loving relationship with God is a constant exchange of loving words. It begins here on earth and continues eternally in heaven. AMEN Comments are closed.
