Long ago, the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people with an everlasting love. With unfailing love, I have drawn you to myself. I will rebuild you, my virgin Israel. You will again be happy and dance merrily with your tambourines. –Jeremiah 31:3-4 (NLT)
GOD’S EVERLASTING LOVE
A poem and essay by ILMA
From the time we were created in our mothers’ wombs
God loved us much and wants us all to grow and bloom
He loves us unconditionally like no one else will ever do
He has proven his faithfulness to us by being true.
The Lord draws us to himself so we can rejoice
He first loved us; let’s always make him as our first choice
God’s everlasting love is manifested when he restores us all
He will never allow us to suffer, be captives or continually fall.

There have been many movies written and filmed that focuses on romantic endless love. Sometimes they can be very foolish and many people get trapped in expecting that real love is like how they portrayed it in the movie screen. The world has contaminated the real essence of love by focusing on external actions instead of looking at the intentions or reasons for their commitment. Society dictates that love is a mushy feeling inside us which is actually a lie. The real meaning of love lies in God’s unconditional and everlasting love for us all.________________________________________
