God's Unchanging Love: Present Even in Bad Times

You know it easy sometimes to think that God isn’t present when things are going bad for us. The feeling that maybe He isn’t there when we deviate from what we think is His plan for us. Well, it is simply not true. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”James 1:17 What this means is that his love for you is not based on your performance, but it is based on an unshakeable decision he made in his divine mind from all eternity.When you are looking for meaning in events all around you, when you are tempted from painful events in your life to conclude that God is absent or powerless or condemning, just remember that his steadfast purpose for you will never waver. He will never stop loving you. And he will never tire of showing you mercy and forgiveness.Be Nice, Grace Wins
