God's steadfast love

So today was a very interesting day at work. God definitely gave me patience today! I am ever so thankful that He takes care of me and loves me the way He does. I had to read Hosea and Amos for a discussion for school and I found that God showed mercy so much throughout both books. He never wants to hurt us! He loves us so very much that He gave his only son for us.

"Seek (inquire for and require) good and not evil that you may live, and so the Lord, the God of Hosts, will be with you, as you have said." Amos 5:14

"For thus says the Lord to the House of Israel (which would also be us): Seek me [inquire for and of me and require me as you require food] and you shall live!" Amos 5:4

"Then you will seek me, inquire for, and require me [as a vital necessity] and fine me when you search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

If you are familiar with Jeremiah 29:11-12 then this verse should make you excited! When I go after God, He will be there! He wants us to live eternally with Him forever. When you really stop and think about how much God really loves you it is like a peace comes over you! His love is so deep and so wide we cannot even fathom it but His presence is so amazing it is like He wraps His love around us! I can't even describe how much He loves me because my mind can't even fathom His love! If you can think about how a parent must love their child and then times that my eternity that is how much God loves us! He hurts when we hurt. He cries when we cry. FYI: Did you know he saves each tear you ever cried! That is how much he loves you!
I am sorry for rambling but I am just so excited!! He always knows what I need when I need it and He has blessed me so much! His love is never failing! It never gives up! He will always love me no matter what I do! He will never, ever forsake me!
I will leave you with this verse

"Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]."  
1 Corinthians 13:7-8a
