"With age-old love I have loved you; so I have kept my mercy toward you" (Jer. 31:3 )
We are familiar with the hymn: "I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have called you and you are mine"
Two questions for me to ponder!
Who is speaking these words? Answer: God.
To whom are they addressed? Answer: Me.
Well then, Who is God? and Who am I?
I would do well to pick up my Bible this week and re-acquaint myself with God's loving care of his chosen people down through the ages, from Promise made to Promise fulfilled in the coming of the Messiah---- the one who saves, Emmanuel, God with us.
Yes, I was created holy. I have a Spark of the Divine in my very nature. I must guard and nurture it, but, above all I must let it shine. That is the call, the true vocation of every Child of God. Awesome!!
