Jesus Always

A friend shared a devotion the other day that I enjoyed so I thought I would share it today.  I do not know the source so I apologize for not giving credit to the actual writer.

Jesus Always

My Love will never let you go!  It has an eternal grip on you.  You live in a world that is unpredictable and unsafe in many ways.  As you look around, you see landscape littered with broken promises.

However, My Love is a promise that will never be broken.  Though the moutains be shaken and the hill be removed, yet My unfailing Love for you will not be shaken.  The prophet Isaiah is painting a picture of dire circumstances: quaking mountains and disappearing hills.  No matter what is happening, My Love is unshakable.  You can build your life on it!

Sometimes My children believe I care for them but still find it difficult to receive My Love in full measure.  I want you to learn to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is My Love for you.  Ask My Spirit to empower you to know this Love that surpasses knowledge.  Break free from faulty self-images so you can view yourself as I see you – radiant in My righteousness, wrapped in luminous Love.

Isaiah 54:10
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.
Ephesians 3:16-19
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Isaiah 61:10

I delight greatly in the Lord;
    my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
    and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
    and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
