Psalm 136:1—Psalms About God’s Love
Daily Bible Verse of the Day
O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever.
In real life, we often face various challenges and may even doubt whether anyone truly cares about us. But God’s love shines like warm sunlight, constantly illuminating our hearts. He gives not for the sake of receiving, but because love is His essence. Rediscover God’s love through this psalm about His love, feeling His endless mercy and protection over us.
This verse is a beautiful declaration of God’s unending love. His love transcends time and space; no matter what situation we find ourselves in, His love is always by our side, never leaving us. Just as God says, “Only the Creator has tenderness toward this mankind. Only the Creator shows this mankind compassion and affection. Only the Creator holds a true, unbreakable affection for this mankind. Likewise, only the Creator can bestow mercy on this mankind and pity all of His created beings. His heart is pulled along with every one of man’s actions: He is angered, distressed and grieved over man’s wickedness and corruption; He is pleased, joyful, forgiving and jubilant for man’s repentance and belief; every single one of His thoughts and ideas exists for and revolves around mankind; what He is and has is expressed entirely for mankind’s sake; the entirety of His emotions are intertwined with mankind’s existence. For mankind’s sake, He travels and rushes about; He silently gives forth every bit of His life; He dedicates every minute and second of His life…. He has never known how to cherish His own life, yet He has always pitied the mankind He Himself created…. He gives all that He has to this humanity…. He grants His mercy and tolerance unconditionally and without expectation of recompense. He does this only so that mankind can continue to survive before His eyes, receiving His provision of life. He does this only so that mankind may one day surrender before Him and recognize that He is the One who nourishes man’s existence and supplies the life of all creation” (The Word, Vol. 2. On Knowing God. God Himself, the Unique II).
This passage reveals God’s deep love and endless mercy for humanity. God is not only the Creator of all things but also our protector. His heart is pulled along with us; whether we are walking in the light or trapped in the depths of darkness, He is attentive to our needs and longs to bring us back into His embrace.
In real life, we often face various challenges and sometimes even doubt whether anyone truly cares about us. But God’s love never leaves us. His love is unconditional; He travels and rushes about for us not for reward, but out of His genuine love for humanity. Just like the story of the prodigal son in the Bible, when the father sees his son return, he does not blame him for past mistakes but welcomes him with open arms. This is exactly how God loves us—no matter how weak or rebellious we may be, He is always waiting for us to return to His embrace.
God provides the sustenance of life for us, such as by granting sunlight and rain to help all things grow and by expressing His truth to save us. Every thought and intention He has is aimed at helping us live better. He cares for our weaknesses and rejoices in our growth. Such love is not only a selfless sacrifice but also a lasting companionship. No matter how far we stray, His love is always behind us, paving the way and protecting us.
In life, we may feel lonely and helpless, but God’s love can reignite our hearts. When we pray in the quiet of the night, He is there, listening to our innermost thoughts. When we ask for help in difficult times, He is always ready to extend His hand without delay. Just as God says, “For mankind’s sake, He travels and rushes about; He silently gives forth every bit of His life; He dedicates every minute and second of His life….” (The Word, Vol. 2. On Knowing God. God Himself, the Unique II).
His love is not a distant observation but a powerful presence that we can truly feel.
Let us remember God’s love in our daily lives, allowing it to be the source of strength within us. No matter whether we are in good times or bad, God’s love and kindness never cease. May we walk more steadfastly on the path of life because of His love, always giving thanks for His goodness and mercy.
Let’s Pray Together:
Dear God, we thank You for Your unconditional love. Even in our moments of weakness and failure, Your love remains unchanged and never departs from us. You give every moment of Your life so that we can feel Your warmth and mercy. God, we know this love is priceless and transcends time and space. Whether we are in good times or bad, You quietly protect us and pave the way ahead. Help us to remember this love every day and not let worldly troubles blur our vision. May Your love be the source of strength within us, allowing us to walk steadfastly in Your light and never be overcome by darkness. Amen!
