How Can I Give You Up?

After hundreds of years of persistent unfaithfulness to God, the Israelites were finally reaping the consequences of their actions—exile is imminent. Even so, the Lord did not abandon his people, but redeemed them and pursued them. He does the same with us: we are betraying him every time we sin, but he keeps loving us anyway. Because God’s heart for his people is unchanging, we never have to wonder how God feels about us, even when we don’t feel good about ourselves. His never-stopping, never-giving-up, unbreaking, always-and-forever love is for us, because of Jesus.
