God’s Promise to Never Stop Loving You

God’s Promise to Never Stop Loving You

God promises to never stop loving you or your loved one.

God's love is unconditional. He loved you the moment He formed you, and that love will never end.

I love what Paul writes in Romans 8:38–39: “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow — not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below — indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

There is NOTHING you can say or do to stop God from loving you. The same is true for your loved one. NOTHING can ever separate us from God’s love, not even addiction.

However, through our loved ones’ addiction, we often do not feel loved. Maybe we have even been told “I don’t love you” or “You don’t love me, because…”  And before long, we believe those lies. We believe that it is something we did to make our loved one feel that way, but that is the enemy speaking. The truth is, your loved one does love you, and they know you love them. But they are trapped by this disease and will say and do anything to feed their addiction and get a rise out of you. They make their love/your love conditional, and say things like, “If you loved me, then you would buy me gas or let me stay just one night.” That is because addicts do not like boundaries, and their addiction can only thrive if we continue to enable and rescue them. The truth is, true love can be tough love.

We can lean on God’s love for us to get us through each moment because His love is unconditional. We see God’s unconditional love through the sacrifice of His own son. Jesus died on the cross for you, me, our loved ones, and this world.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” — John 3:16–17

God sacrificed His own son and watched as Jesus endured more pain than we will ever experience because of His LOVE for us.
