Reflecting God - Embrace Holy Living - The Global of the Nazarene's Foundry Publishing House in Kansas City, Missouri, United States for Monday, 23 July 2018 "My Savior's Love for Me" by Tim Gates - Jeremiah 31:1-9.
Jeremiah 31:1 (2) Here is what Adonai says:
“The people escaping the sword
found favor in the desert —
I have brought Isra’el to its rest.”
2 (3) From a distance Adonai appeared to me, [saying,]
“I love you with an everlasting love;
this is why in my grace I draw you to me.
3 (4) Once again, I will build you; you will be rebuilt,
virgin of Isra’el.
Once again, equipped with your tambourines,
you will go out and dance with the merrymakers.
4 (5) Once again, you will plant vineyards on the hills of Shomron,
and those doing the planting will have the use of its fruit.
5 (6) For a day will come when the watchmen
on Mount Efrayim will call,
‘Come, let’s go up to Tziyon,
to Adonai our God.’”
6 (7) For here is what Adonai says:
“Sing with joy for Ya‘akov!
shout for the chief of the nations!
Proclaim your praise, and say:
‘Adonai! You have saved your people,
the remnant of Isra’el!’
7 (8) Look! I am bringing them from the land in the north,
gathering them from the far ends of the earth;
among them are the blind and lame,
women with children, women in labor,
all together, a vast throng
returning here.
8 (9) They will come weeping and praying
as I bring them back.
I will lead them by streams of water
on smooth paths, so that they won’t stumble.
For I am a father to Isra’el,
and Efrayim is my firstborn son.” (Complete Jewish Bible)

Every parent knows the feeling of holding a child in their arms or kneeling beside her bed at night and being so utterly overwhelmed with love for her that they feel their heart could burst. Each time I hold one of my grandsons tight I am reminded that there is nothing that could ever take that love away from me. They may disappoint me, disobey me, or even rebel. But nothing they do ever causes that love to waver. God says, “I’ve never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!” (Jeremiah 31:3, TM).
Jeremiah reminds us that we serve a God who is forever in love with His children. There is nothing you can do today to cause him to love you more and there is nothing you can do today to cause Him to love you less. He simply loves you. It is his nature. He does not just give love; He is love! Be reminded today that God watches over you like a parent watches with great love over his child. He pursues you even when you fail to pursue Him. Live this day in the confidence  of His Great Love.

Hymn for Today: "My Savior's Love" by Charles H. Gabriel.
1. I stand amazed in the presence
of Jesus, the Nazarene,
and wonder how he could love me,
a sinner, condemned, unclean.
Refrain: How marvelous, how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous, how wonderful
is my Savior’s love for me!
2. He took my sins and my sorrows;
he made them his very own;
he bore the burden to Calvary
and suffered and died alone. Refrain: How marvelous, how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous, how wonderful
is my Savior’s love for me!
3. When with the ransomed in glory
his face I at last shall see,
’twill be my joy through the ages
to sing of his love for me. 
Refrain: How marvelous, how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous, how wonderful
is my Savior’s love for me!
Thought for Today: Those who do not love, do not know God; because God is love. (1 John 4:8)! (Complete Jewish Bible)).

Please pray: That many people in Nigeria will come to know Yeshua as their Messiah and receive the fullness of the Ruach HaKadosh.
