THE UNMOVABLENESS OF HIS LOVE

“The most flaming affections can quickly cool in the heart of the man. His love is like fire in the hearth-- it blazes, flickers, and then goes out.

As there is no "shadow of turning" in God's being, so there is no turning away of His love for us. There is no vertical point-- His love stands still. Like the sun in Gibeon, it does not go down or decline but continues in its full strength. "With everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer Isaiah 54:8..

The most flaming affections can quickly cool in the heart of the man. His love is like fire in the hearth-- it blazes, flickers, and then goes out. But God's love is like fire in the sun. It never fails. In the creature, love is like the waters of a river, rising and falling again; in God, like the waters of the sea, which is always full and knows no ebb or flow. Nothing can destroy or change His love where He has sent it; and neither can it be corrupted or conquered.

God's love cannot be corrupted. There have always been people presumptuous enough to bribe God to desert His people. Thus when Balaan tried to win God over to Balak's side he spared no cost. He built altar after altar and heaped sacrifice upon sacrifice, hoping to force a word from God's mouth against His people. Yet the Father stayed true to His children and branded displeasure upon that nation for hiring Balaam and sending him on such a foolish mission. All the while, God continued to persuade them of His steadfast love: "O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him." Why should they remember this? "That ye may know the righteousness of the Lord" Micah 6:5.

This story is mentioned to remind us of God's faithfulness toward His chosen ones. If you want your love for God to be incorruptible, embalm it with the sweet spices of His sincere love for you, which is immortal and cannot see corruption. If you believe God is true to you, how can you ever be false to Him again? It is cruel to return falseness for faithfulness in love.”Quoted material from, ”The Christian in Complete Armour Daily Readings in Spiritual Warfare” by Gurnall and James S Bell. http://www.moodypublishers.com/pub_productDetail.aspx?id=41823&pid=53617
