An Everlasting Love

It is I who cried out. It is I who seek you. I travel across the plains, across the earth, over all the rolling hills, forests and deserts. I cry out for My children: those who are near, those who are far away, those who are wounded, and those who call me their enemy.

I call from the heights, “Come up!” I shout from the mountains, “Come up!” I bellow into the depths, “Come up!”

I see you cry and weep. You do not always hear My voice, but I tell you, I stepped down from heaven to you. I made the journey first. I loved you first. I became flesh so I could clothe you in dignity. 

Now you must strip away all that stops you coming to Me, so that we may meet – you before the cross, and I hanging upon it.

There I cried out, “It is finished.” Step forward and meet me. Each of you has an appointment at the tomb with Me, where My resurrection took place. And in that meeting with Me, you shall be transformed.

Jeremiah 31:3 (ESV)
I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.
