God's Love Is Changeless

The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies (Psalm 59:10).

God’s love is not like man’s love. God’s love does not change, ever, under any circumstances or conditions. Having loved us from eternity, He will never call back His love in time. There is nothing we can do to destroy, or even lessen, the love of God for us (John 13:1). We did nothing to compel God to love us; and we can do nothing to repel God’s love. The love of God is not dependent upon, or regulated by our faithfulness to Him (Mal. 3:6). The freeness, eternality and immutability of God’s love to us in Christ means that our everlasting salvation is a matter of absolute certainty. Nothing “shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus.”

David was hunted by those whose love had turned to jealousy, which was driving them to murder him. Trusted friends, and even his son, had turned against him. What changeable love! But David knew that God's love for him was changeless. God's love for all who trust Him is also changeless. When the love of others fails or disappoints us, we can rest in God's changeless love. Amen!
