Reliance & Love

"Rely on the love God has for us." I John 4:16

"People can prove unreliable, God never is." (Lysa Terkeurst, Becoming More Than a Good Bible Study Girl, page 91)

What are you relying on to love?
If we rely on our feelings or their actions, it probably won't happen.
If we rely on good circumstances or positive feedback, it probably won't happen.

The only thing we can rely on, day in and day out, is God.

"Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless...Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you..." [2 Chronicles 14:11]
"Woe to those who go (elsewhere) for help, who rely on (other things), who trust in (other strengths)...but do not look to the Holy One...or seek help from the Lord. [Isaiah 31:1]
"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us." [I John 4:16]
