God's love is demonstrative. It is not
simply a feeling that is here one moment
and gone the next. God's love remains constant. It
shows, tells, and does. God's love is
always present.
If God loves me why do bad things
happen?
Some of
life's events are good. These do
not cause us to doubt God's love exists.
However, when we consider painful events
in life, the temptation to believe God
is far, uncaring, insensitive, and
uninvolved arises. It is at the time of
doubt that we should remember God's
commitment to those who love Him.
We can firmly rest on His promise that all of the
things that happen in life will be used
by Him for our good. This is
God'scommitment.

Think about your habits. What does
"no matter what" mean to you?
Consider the measure of unconditional
love God has for you. His Love
NEVER fails.
