Held by Love: Your Unshakable Covenant with God
Photo by Alise Storsul
The Bible is filled with descriptions of who God is and what He’s like. Saint Paul’s famous description of love in 1 Corinthians 13 is one example. Everything he wrote about love describes the God of love—and, as a matter-of-course, His amazing, never-ending covenant with you.
On a daily basis, this is what God is like toward you:
He is patient (1 Cor. 13:4). God is always patient with you. He is not upset because you haven’t learned certain things yet. He’s not disappointed with you, nor does He wish you would magically mature overnight. He knows maturity takes time, and He is patient with you as you grow.
He is kind (1 Cor. 13:4). Your covenant with God is marked by His kindness toward you. When you make a mistake, He doesn’t respond with force/threats. “Do it My way or else!” Instead, whenever something needs fixing, He uses kindness (Rom. 2:4).
He doesn’t get mad easily (1 Cor. 13:5). It is okay to make mistakes and learn because in His covenant with you, God is incredibly gentle. He doesn’t fly off the handle when you make a wrong choice or somehow mess things up.
He doesn’t remember your sins and use them against you later (1 Cor. 13:5). We are used to other people remembering our poor choices and holding them against us, but God isn’t like that. He delights in you and doesn’t count your sins against you (2 Cor. 5:19).
He always protects you (1 Cor. 13:7). There’s never a time when God does not protect you.
He always trusts you (1 Cor. 13:7). Your heavenly Father trusts you. He doesn’t set you up to fail—He sets you up to win. He is helping you, and as you trust Him in return, you will experience success.
God loves you more than you realize! And your covenant with Him is real.
Yes, you are fully accepted.
Yes, you are fully loved.
No, you don’t need to be afraid.
May you have a fearless week with God! Let go of all worries and simply rejoice in who He is, because He is wonderful, and You have an unshakeable covenant with Him.
