Rick Warren's Daily DevotionalExemple

God's Unfailing Love Like goodness, God's unfailing love follows us in life. King David says it pursues us! Picture a parent following a little child around picking up after them. When we're struggling with hurts, habits, and hang-ups, God is coming right alongside us, helping to pick up our messes and telling us that his unfailing love is always there. This means, rather than entering into the future with a question mark, you can do it with an exclamation point! God will be with you no matter what happens. He will help you out: "Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever." (Psalm 23:6 NLT) God's goodness will provide and protect. God's mercy (unfailing love) will pardon and forgive. God's goodness will supply. God's mercy will soothe. God's goodness will help. God's mercy will heal. Goodness is the fact that God gives us good things in life that we don't deserve. Mercy means God holds back the condemnation we deserve.
