“The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:3, Holy Bible, New King James).

No matter what the circumstances, He is there for us with His gift of timeless love.
Prayer: Lord, Jeremiah’s reminder of Your everlasting love blesses me with invisible hugs. Amen.
