Conversations with God – The Fathers Love
God’s desire for our relationship with Him is that it always be rooted in and built upon the foundation of His love. His love is not fleeting or conditional; it is steadfast and eternal. This is the essence of His nature and the core of His intentions toward us. Even when He brings correction, it is done from a place of unyielding love. The book of Malachi opens with a powerful reminder of this truth. God’s very first conversation with Malachi is a declaration of love — this is an affirmation of His unchanging affection toward His people. Before addressing their shortcomings, before bringing attention to their missteps, He establishes the foundation: love.
