Forever love is talked about in dime store novels, but this kind of love is only found in God's faithful lovingkindness. Thankfully, we can tap into that reservoir of eternal and divine love through the Holy Spirit, who helps us both receive that love and share it (
John 7:37-39;
Romans 5:5). Importantly, our verse emphasizes how God's kind of love is multigenerational - generations before us passed it along to us, and we must pass it on to the generations that come after us. This multigenerational principle is not just a practice of celebrating God's love under the Old Covenant; it is also one that the apostle Paul taught Timothy to pass on to Jesus' disciples (
2 Timothy 2:1-2). Ours is a multigenerational celebration of the goodness of God -
"from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children." We must celebrate the goodness and love of God so that our grandchildren can know God and celebrate his goodness in their day and share it with their children!
O God of glory and grace, thank you for your promises, your covenants, and your love. May I live in such a way that others, especially those who come after me in my family and church family, know that your love is from everlasting to everlasting. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
