Because I love you with an everlasting LOVE.

Jeremiah 31:3

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying:
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with loving-kindness.

There is nothing more difficult to endure than knowing a loved one has walked away from the Savior. Oh, how it grieves His heart as it does mine. How He wants them to come back, as do I. Oh, How He loves them!

That deep, deep love that never fails. An unconditional love that desires nothing back. A perfect love that passes understanding. A love that gives everything and wants nothing. That’s the love of Jesus.

Son, I have loved you since before you were born. And so has Jesus. There was never a time in all of eternity when you were not loved by Him.  He calls out to you, even now…. “My beloved, return to Me”. 

Most people don’t find out
‘Till it’s too late
That someone has to pay the price
You can pay it yourself  
Or let someone else
But who would be that nice?
To pay a debt that isn’t His
Well, I know someone like that
And He’s your best friend
He really is
He really loves you
Most people don’t find out
‘Till they’re half dead
That they need another life
You say you’ve heard everything
That’s ever been said
About the Way the Truth, the Life
You say you’ve heard lots of preaching
All before
So many times
But did you ever open up your door
Give him a chance
To prove himself
Well, He’s real, you know
I hope you find out
Before it’s too late
That there’s really nobody else
You know it’s breaking his heart
The longer you wait
Cause you’ve only been lying to yourself
Cause no one believes a thing you say
Not even you
You know
You’re gonna find out that He’s the way
No matter which way you choose
But I pray you
Find out by His love for you
