Love and Feelings

“The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God's love for us does not.”  -C.S. Lewis

In classical music, a common compositional technique is the pedal point.  It is a note that is held out over the course of several measures while different melodies are played over or under it.  Even when the melody changes, the pedal note remains the same.  This note often establishes the tone of the whole piece, impacting the feel and mood of the melody.

Life has ups and downs.  There are good days and bad days.  We go through times of pain and loss.  We also have seasons of victory and happiness.  Through all of these changes, God’s love is like a pedal note that sets the tone for our life.  Even when the melody changes, God’s love never does.  It is always unconditional, complete, and unending for all of his children.  Regardless of what kind of a day you’re having today, God’s love is no more or no less.  “There is nothing in all creation that can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:39)
