Your love never ends

 Your Love Is All I Need

A Reflection on Psalm 23:1, Romans 8:38-39, and Jeremiah 31:3

Your love is all I need—not the treasures of the earth,

Not the fame, not the fortune, not the titles of new birth.

For these are fading shadows, they are like the morning mist,

But Your love is eternal, a love that cannot be dismissed.

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” (Jeremiah 31:3)

Your love is all I need—in the silence and the song,

When I am weak and when I am strong.

In the valley and the peak, in the shadow and the light,

Your love is the anchor that holds me tight.

When the world offers its empty promises and its fleeting gain,

Your love remains the same, the constant in the changing lane.

It pursues me in the valley, it chases me up the hill,

And when I had no strength to run, it carried me, and still

It holds me, keeps me, never leaves me all alone.

Your love has made my heart Your home.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)

Your love is all I need—not for comfort only,

But to be a channel of that love to the lonely.

To reflect Your heart, to share Your grace,

To let Your love shine from my face.

No power in all creation, no depth, no height, no fear,

Can make it falter, diminish, or disappear.

It is the final word over every chapter of my story,

My unshakable foundation, my undeserved glory.

So let the world offer its fleeting, glittering prize.

I'll hold with joy the treasure right before my eyes.

For Your love is all I need, no, not a single thing,

Compares to the glorious, living love I have found in Christ my King.

Your love never fails. It never ends.

It is the anchor of my soul, my dearest, closest Friend.

Amen.
