The Constant of God’s Blessings

Greetings,

From my mother’s womb you are my strength.

                                                                                            Psalm 71:6

Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart.  You have been born anew.

                                                                                            I Peter 1:22-23

Perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony.  It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again” to the moon.  It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never gotten tired of making them.  It may be that God has the eternal appetite of infancy.

                                                                                G. K. Chesterton

Certainly I am grateful that thus far God has not gotten tired of forgiving me, just as God so often and lovingly forgave Israel.  Indeed, God’s gifts are continual.  New every morning are the blessings of God.  Yet God’s love and blessing are unchanging, ever constant.  God creates, and each creation is a gift of love which does not end with its presentation, but which continues to love and bless, and when necessary recreate, even unto eternity. 

Yours & His,
