Psalm 63:3
King James Version
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise thee.
While closing my eyes, momentarily to rest, thinking how funny man is -- the useless bickerings, the crazy competition, the hidden agendas -- THREE words came to mind.
Surely, it was brought forth by SPIRIT:
"Thy everlasting love."
I can only think of how much GOD loves us, despite who we are, how we are, who we have become, our many faults, iniquities, imperfections, seeming superiority, greed, vanity, lust for power, and flesh, errors in thinking, hard-heartedness, rebellion, and yes, even hatred.
For that purpose, I will share with you Scripture verses, which testify of God's EVERLASTING LOVE for us.
So we may find comfort, assurance, and never doubt again.
