Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night
But Joy comes in the morning.
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that you love me
Your Love Never Fails"
Something is occurring to me more and more each day. God's Love is unfathomable. It's ridiculous. It's unbelievable... But you better believe it! God's love cannot be compared to anything here on earth. Mainly because earth and our world is always changing, always failing, and not perfect by a long shot. And God's love is literally the opposite of all of those things.
God's love never changes. It is just as strong of a love as it was when he thought of you... before time began. Yea that's right, God loved you, me, your friends, your friends' friends, and their friends... EVERYONE... before he made the earth... WHAT?!?! Does that not just blow your mind?
God's love is unfailing. Take a look at that word real quick. Do it again. And again... It is UNFAILING meaning it never fails. It never stops. It has no end. It will always be there. There is nothing that you can do to stop it. There's no sin, no words, no actions that will make God say "You know what, I don't love you anymore." I don't know about you, but every now and then, someone can really grind my gears. Grind them to a point where I probably wouldn't invite them over to dinner. I wouldn't want to be around them. But GOD'S love is never like that. He always wants to be with you and you with him. If He could, and He can in a sense, He would invite you over for dinner every single night! He loves you!
As if you're not convicted already... God's love is perfect. Perfect. The dictionary on my phone says "Perfect: Free from any flaw or defect in condition or quality; Faultless" So there is absolutely nothing wrong with His love. Nothing. Wow... Just Wow.
The people down here in Costa Rica are loved... unconditionally... by God. The God of the universe Loves them. And if they don't know that, they will. I'll take that job title any day: "Teller of God's unfailing love to people who don't know it." Yea it's got a nice ring to it. When do i start? Tomorrow morning? Done.
An average day in Costa Rica for me looks something like this... I wake up around 7am local time and walk down the road to our team house for a staff meeting and a cup or seven of coffee. The morning will consist of either a feeding center, where Men and Women who live on the streets here can come into the Church and get a hot, home cooked meal, or a trip to a local school to teach english to little kids. Wild little kids, might I add. We then come back to the team house for lunch and another cup of coffee. The afternoon will be rainy because it is the rainy season down here. But, come on, rain doesn't hurt. So we keep working anyways. Each weekday afternoon from 1:30-4:30, we have Kid's Club. This is an after school program where we teach english to whoever shows up, play games with the kids, read and go through a Bible lesson, and do a few worship songs. Today, for example, we had 13 kids come to Kid's Club and hear the word of God. Praise Him... At night, we have dinner and, yes, a cup of coffee. We also have a chapel service for the mission family and the mission team that is down here. A little worship to the most high God, a sermon, and the day is done.
All of these activities (Church, Kid's Club, Feeding Centers, etc.) require two things: Prayer and Funding. IF you feel called to donate or fund me and the ministry, please do so! God is doing awesome and powerful things here in Alajuelita, San Jose, Costa Rica. If you want to help out financially, you can visit our website at www.68ministries.org. There, you can donate online or send in a check to the address provided! Just be sure to put my name in the note area!
God is here. He is ready. And HE IS LOVING!
All Glory, Honor, and Praise be to God the Father!
God Bless y'all!
