Advent - Week 4, Day 2: Steadfast Love

What2Say2Day? Okay, so yesterday we asked three questions to focus on for the week. I'm not going to repeat them here, you can go back and take a look at them if you want. Today I just want to focus on what steadfast love is. When this question was asked to the youth of our church yesterday the answers were exactly what you would expect. "It's love that never stops" or "it's a love that never fades no matter what we do" and "a love that is steady and forever". All great answers, and all very much correct. Then we asked what that kind of love would look like. Hmmm, that seemed to be a little more difficult to answer. So, yes, what would that kind of love look like? Steadfast love takes a lot of searching for in today's world. For some reason it would seem everywhere we turn love isn't so, well, steadfast. Divorces, families infighting, governments in turmoil, people revolting, wars, hunger, and the list goes on. And yet as Christians we are expected to find and promote steadfast love. How can we do this? The answers lay before us in ways that are more than likely too close for us to see. As the adage says, sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees. For today, though, think about what steadfast love means to you, put a definition on it. Then, purposefully look for examples of where you see this kind of love. I'm sure you'll find it, just try not to look too hard and/or too far away (hint).
