A Prayer to Perceive That Love Is Unyielding
By Chris Eyte

Bible Studying:
‘Place me like a seal over your coronary heart, like a seal in your arm, for love is as robust as loss of life, its jealousy unyielding because the grave. It burns like blazing fireplace, like a mighty flame.’ – Tune of Songs 8:6

Learn or Hear Under:

Trying throughout the ocean bay from the place I dwell is a land on the horizon. It’s seen relying on the sunshine, night time or day, however typically, a fog hides it from view. It marks the frontier to a county, truly in a special nation, the place my father is buried. He died 20 years in the past on the time of writing, and it’s a wierd temptation after I take a look at that slug of countryside far-off and assume my dad is there. But the fact is that he isn’t there in any respect! “The Spirit offers life; the flesh counts for nothing!” Jesus as soon as stated (John 6: 63a).

Even so, a go to to the graveyard the place his stays are interred is a sober reminder that we are able to all really feel the harshness of loss when these we as soon as spoke with, laughed with, and hung out with are now not there. I took my youngsters to see my dad’s grave for the primary time final summer time, however there was nothing to see: simply grass, a gravestone, a photograph, floral preparations, and grass.

Is there any energy identified to man that may actually – and I do imply actually – present a solution to such bleak finality? Who may seize maintain of the mocking silence of Loss of life and brutalize it, making it subservient to Life? It appears not possible, completely not possible.

Nevertheless, historical past data that there as soon as was a Man, nailed to a cross, bleeding on the wooden, who surrendered his life to the powers of darkness. “Hereby understand we the love of God, as a result of He laid down his life for us…” (1 John 3:16a)

The love of Jesus Christ is each the balm for our griefs and the conqueror of the menacing evil that prompted the ache of loss of life within the first place. The Bible tells us that He has dealt a loss of life blow to Loss of life itself. We don’t see the outcome but, however it’s prophesied that judgment awaits Devil, and the phantasm of our beloved’s demise might be shattered perpetually.

And this can be a purity of affection gifted to us by God that doesn’t quit. It’s unyielding. Say that to your circumstances: unyielding. Say it to the loneliness. Say it to the failures and emotions of guilt. Unyielding. Say the phrase within the depths of mourning for your beloved. Say it to the obstacles blocking your fruitfulness. Say it to the maelstrom of recollections plaguing you night time and day.

Unyielding! God’s love for you is unyielding. Say it to the false thought that you’re defeated and hopeless. Say it to the prognosis of illness and fears for the long run. Say it to the colour of loss of life ruining your existence’s contours, crevices, and depths. There may be hope past the graveyard. At some point, there might be no extra graves. Unyielding!

The abyss doesn’t exist in Jesus’s presence. His love is jealous of us, and He gained’t quit on his youngsters. He holds us firmly—unyielding!

Let’s Pray:

Heavenly Father, On this valuable second, I yield my soul and different components of myself to you. Your love for me is genuinely unyielding! Devil needs me to despair, however I’m free to not be so. You might have liberated me and known as me your personal. I’m reassured. I commit now to sharing your love by serving to others. In Jesus’ identify. Amen!
