Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.
Psalms 136:1-3

This repeated refrain ‘His love endures forever‘ teaches us that God’s love is the foundation for all His actions on our behalf and the fountainhead of all our thanksgiving. His love includes His mercy, His faithfulness, and His kindness. God, by His nature, is good. We are seeing His love always. He sent His Son to die for us (John 3:16). All for His love for us—the love that endures forever.
The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of His unfailing love.
Psalm 33:5
Being full of His unfailing love means not ever reaching a point of lack in all aspects of life because He is giving Himself fully to us. It is only when we realize this kind of love and meditate on this kind of love that we appreciate how deep the Father’s love is for us, how incredibly vast beyond measure.
Our God loves us with all His heart. Let us reciprocate by loving Him, too, with our inner being. Let us not live a life that displeases Him but rather a life that is set on pleasing Him.
Some people depend on chariots, substituting other gods for the One True God. Remember God is the only One who is good.
“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied.
“There is only One who is good.
If you want to enter life, obey the commandments.
Matthew 19:17
I just love how He loves us all! Even those that are living in sin He still loves them because He created them. However there is judgement to them that are not in Christ Jesus. And those that are in Christ Jesus they testify of His love that endures forever for they shall not be judged and so the joys shall never cease.
Therefore let us choose, brethren, to live a life that pleases the Lord. We should love Him for He first loved us. We should also exercise the same love and goodness to others for we are created in His own image and likeliness. There has to be no difference.

Father, we give You all the praise and all the glory for You are the great God, the ‘I AM who I AM,’ the all-knowing and always present God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The earth is full of Your lovingkindness, dear Lord, and so we worship You. Heavenly father, thank You for showing us Your goodness and mercy that endures forever in Your Scripture. We love You and adore You; and thank You for the love that is given to us. We pray for forgiveness for at times we have taken Your love for granted. Teach us to appreciate Your love more and more. And to love others and do good to them. We adore You and give You thanks; in Jesus’ name we have prayed. Amen.
