You never stop loving.

 You Never Stop Loving

A Reflection on Lamentations 3:22-23 and Romans 8:38-39

You never stop loving—not for a moment, not for a breath,

Not in the silence of sorrow, not in the shadow of death.

When I wander, You pursue. When I doubt, You remain.

Your love is not a passing storm; it is an endless, healing rain.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

You never stop loving—when I rise and when I fall,

When I answer Your call and when I build a wall.

Your love does not depend on my performance or my prayer;

It flows from who You are, a river always there.

Through the sleepless nights and the weary days,

Through the winding roads and the disoriented maze,

Your love is the thread that never breaks,

The promise that never, ever shakes.

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)

You never stop loving—not when I succeed, not when I fail.

Not when the enemy whispers that I am beyond the pale.

Your love has already proven itself on the cross,

Where You counted me worth every bit of Your loss.

So I rest in this love—vast, unchanging, deep.

A love that awakens me when I fall asleep

To the truth that I am held, that I am known,

That I am never, ever alone.

You never stop loving.

This is my song, my peace, my home.

Forever. Amen.
