I’ve been thinking about Jeremiah 31:3 a lot lately. “Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love.”
Everlasting love. . . .
I thought this morning I would look in Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening devotional book to see if he had anything to write about this verse, and he did, so I thought I would share. I’m hoping it will encourage you, as it has me.
“Ask those of the Lord’s people who have lived the nearest to the gates of heaven, and they will tell you that they have had seasons when the love of Christ towards them has been a fact so clear and sure, that they could no more doubt it than they could question their own existence.
Yes, beloved believer, you and I have had times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, and then our faith has mounted to the topmost heights of assurance.
We have had confidence to lean our heads upon the bosom of our Lord, and we have no more questioned our Master’s affection to us than John did when in that blessed posture; nay, nor so much: for the dark question, ‘Lord, is it I that shall betray thee?’ has been put far from us.
He has kissed us with the kisses of His mouth, and killed our doubts by the closesness of His embrace.
His love has been sweeter than wine to our souls.” ~C.H. Spurgeon
If I know one thing for sure, it’s that God loves me, I am His and He is mine.
Good to be Home

Beautiful, Shan… the whole thing.
It was simply amazing. I had goosebumps while I was reading this because His love is so clear and defined in this life He has given me. Thank you for sharing. It’s beautiful. God bless you.
His love truly is incredible. I talked to my Bible study young people tonight about how important it is for them to really be convinced of the goodness and love of God. His love is greater than anything else.
Sweet Scriptures here! Thank you Shanda!
Gorgeous photos. An encouraging, uplifting post. Thank you.
Very nice.
As the hymn says — “Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know:Spirit, breathing from above, Thou has taught me it is so!O this full and perfect peace, O this transport all divine –In a love which cannot cease, I am His and He is mine.”

Thank you so much for posting this! I really needed it! We are going through some very deep dark waters in our live right now, but even there God’s hand is with us! I love the hymn that the Lady above put on here, “loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know!!” That is so true!!! We are learning of Gods love and His grace in a much deeper way than I ever imagined! Thank you for putting what is on your heart on your blog for sharing Gods Word!
