Advent Devotional - Fourth Sunday in Advent

Jeremiah 31:3:  I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. 

Planned obsolescence. Our phones, and even printer cartridges, have a built-in, deliberate shelf-life that just happens to correspond to the latest and greatest product coming out. They’re fair-weather friends, and the consumer just has to get used to it. Things come and go; people come and go. Love ‘em, and they leave you … with the exception of the LORD. 

The LORD could not give up on his people; Israel. No matter what they did – no matter what we do – the LORD will never, ever take that love away. When we look at the manger, we don’t see only an infant, we see love incarnate, a love that will not let us go. 

PRAYER
Lord, in this season, help me to know in a new and unexpected way, your everlasting love for me.

Rev. Alice Tondora, Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Johnstown
