READ: Romans 8:31-39

            His Unfailing Love

  I am persuaded that neither death
     nor life seperate us from the love of God.

                           - Romans 8:38-39

When Gillian learned one Saturday morning that her  daughter
had  been  killed,  she plunged into despair.  For 18 months
she pleaded with God to help her with her grief.  "I've been
told  that God is love.  Why won't He show me his love?" she
wrote.

Then in October 1981, Gillian experienced what she refers to
as  "a small miracle- a tiny glow of warmth deep in my sole,
which grew to an all-consuming  love--the  love  of  Jesus."
"Dear  Jesus,"  she said, "my search to find you has lead me
down many paths, but when the right time came You showed  me
the way."

Gillian's search ended when she found Christ as her  Savior,
but  her  need  for Him had only begun.  A few months later,
her husband started having an affair.   Their  20-year  mar-
riage  eventually  ended  in  divorce.   "I've  failed  many
times," she wrote, "but I know God's love for  me  is  real,
and I hold on to the knowledge that I am loved by Him."

The apostle Paul came to know God's  love  on  the  road  to
Damascus (Acts 9).  And over the years he too found it to be
unfailing.  Nothing else could account for the amazing words
he penned in today's Scripture reading.

Are you searching for God's unfailing love?  It's  available
if you will seek Him with all your heart.

Author:  Dennis J. De Haan

 When trials overwhelm your soul
 And seem too much  to  bear,
 Just  ask  the  Lord to show His love,
 Then trust His tender care.  -Sper
