November 12

“The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Jeremiah 31:3 (NIV)

Sometimes people come into our lives who promise to love us, attempt to do their best, but they may be broken themselves, and just not able to do what they so hoped they could do.  That is not a reflection on whether or not you are loveable, it is a reflection on their own brokenness, and what they are not able to do.  
 
Yet treasured child, there is One Who loves you deeply, dearly, truly—Who always has and always will.  The Lord loves you with an everlasting, unfailing, love and wants others to love you too—in all the life-giving ways that are meant to be.  

For all the lack and the longings unfulfilled, Jesus will impart the gift of His healing love to you—transforming, renewing, delivering you from all the lies and wounds of the past.  Then from that place of freedom found only in Him, you can learn to love and accept yourself (He will show you how), and find yourself able, in greater measure, to give and receive love to and from others.  
 
He has drawn you to Himself so that it could be so, in every area of your life.  And remember dear heart; His love for you is everlasting. He holds you tenderly in the arms of kindness, and cherished one, He will never let you go.
