Love endures. Love has faith. Love has hope. When single one says of course my love for him will last forever. Ok, I believe you because I feel that and want that too. Then I look at my love life with my God. Is my love for Him enduring? faithful? hopeful? Or do I go into fits of sadness and questioning?
When some of 'Job's trials' visit me, my love for God canNOT falter. It must endure. It must keep the faith. It must hope. I need to meet God's Love with all of my love. His out does mine by far. He knows that but I want Him to delight in my love that I give to Him. Love is work but work that I will delight in.
Storms and tragedies reveal who you are. I want God-love to be what you see. Satan was bending God's ear telling him that Job only loved God because He poured out favor upon him. What happened when God stripped Job of every earthly treasure and on top of that took his health? Job still loved God. Hmmm... when you look at it like this, can your love endure? When the Lord giveth good gifts and taketh good gifts, can your love remain faithful? When you are bare and clothed in ashes, can your love still soar in hope?
time to pump joy - increase your stregth...
