And how do we do this, Dear Ones? How do we stay satisfied at all, much less starting the day being "satisfied with His steadfast love"? We have to pursue it through God's Word! I was talking to someone special recently about being pursued. It is a wonderful feeling to be cared about so much that someone would deliberately pursue another. We all long to be loved in this way, I believe.
One of my favorite stories is the one of The Prodigal Son. Luke 15 tells this story. When the son had spent his inheritance and learned the many lessons he needed to learn, he realized the best place to be was back where his father was. When he arrived at his father's estate and was still far off, what did this young man see? Did he see a father waiting with arms crossed and with "I told you so" ready to be said? Did he see a father turn his back in disgust? Did he see his father hang a sign on the door with the words, NOT WELCOME HERE? No...his father ran to him, hugged him, gave him a robe and a ring and held a banquet in his honor. "For my son was lost and now he is found"!
God does the same for you and I...yes, He does! So we can be satisfied every day by His steadfast love.
Just sayin'...
