Never-Failing, Never-Giving Up Love

As I was running, I felt like I had a spring in my step today.  The sun was peeking out a bit, I could see daffodils all over town and the pink cherry blossoms are starting to bloom.  But I don't always feel that way when I am on a run.  Some days, I feel like I am an elephant, tromping along and not able to go very fast.  I was thinking about your day yesterday in that you were so tired. You told me at bedtime that you just were not able to do the pirouettes in class very well because you were just spent.

As I was heading up a 2 mile hill, this song came on (One Thing Remains) and the chorus hit home in particular that God's love never fails, never gives up, and never runs out... I am praying for you today that whether you feel like a gazelle or an elephant that your heart would be wrapped up in this love that never fails or gives up or runs out of steam (even though we sure do sometimes!).  


One Thing Remains 
Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing… Remains [repeat]

[Chorus:]
Your love never fails, never gives up
Never runs out on me [3x]

On and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never, ever, have to be afraid
One thing remains

[Bridge:]
In death, In life, I’m confident and
covered by the power of Your great love
My debt is paid, there’s nothing that can
separate my heart from Your great love...
