Love That Remains Forever

Our days on earth are like grass;
    like wildflowers, we bloom and die.

The wind blows, and we are gone—
    as though we had never been here.

But the love of the LORD remains forever
    with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children’s children

     of those who are faithful to his covenant,
     of those who obey his commandments!

—Psalm 103:15-18 (NLT)

Loving LORD,

Thank You that Your love remains with me forever—and is extended to my children’s children, as well.

My time here on earth is brief—I am here now, but will soon be gone and forgotten.

But not so, with Your love.  Your love remains forever with me, as I reverently and worshipfully fear You—as I respond to Your love with love and obedience.

And Your loving salvation is extended to not only to my children, but to their children as well—and to as many as will be faithful to remain in this covenant relationship with You, by being careful to remember and earnestly obey Your commandments.

Thank You that Your love remains with me forever—and is extended to my children’s children, as well.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
