The things of the past shall not be remembered or come to mind.

Too often I forget about the unconditional love of God.  This line from today's reading from Isaiah puts it front and center for me.  Unconditional is a powerful word.   No strings attached.  No price to pay.   No grudges. God does not deal with us the way most humans relate tot others.  God looks at our present. and love us.  God promises to be with us always, to help us on our way.  Nothing you or I can do will every separate us from God's love.  God is love.   God can only love.  God's loving me does not depend upon my loving in return.  I may give up on the love of a person who just doesn't want anything to do with me.   God never gives up on me.  God lovingly waits for me. 

Recalling these truths have made my day!  Thank you, Lord!
