Love, it is something we all search for. As babies, love is one of the key requirements to our health. A child requires at least 10 touches a day. As teenagers, we are obsessed with love. Trying to find the perfect significant other that you claim to love after a few days. As adults, we marry. We marry the man that we love. Our whole life revolves around this thing called love.
Earthly love is heart-breaking, awful and wonderful, comforting, risky and safe.
The song Unfailing Love by Chris Tomlin is very famous. It leads me to question, Is there really an unfailing love? After all the things that go on in our world, abandonment, break-ups, divorces, deaths, etc., can we really sing a song about a love that never fails and really mean it?
I like to refer to unfailing love as a limitless love.
Limitless Love is a love that no matter what comes in the way of that love, it will not break because it knows no limits. Abandoment, break-ups, divorces and deaths make that love stronger. It may put a strain on one of them, but the strain is not put on God.
God has a limitless love for us. When we ignore him, he loves us. When we say stuff we don't mean, he loves us. When we lie, he loves us. He loves us limitlessly. He loves us no matter what we do.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:35-39).
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends John 15:13).
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies (Psalm 36:5).
How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings (Psalm 36:7).
