Can you lose God's love?

 /And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them./ 

*22*Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” *23*therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.

Genesis 3:21-23


Even when Adam and Eve had damaged the relationship between themselves and God, do you see how God still continues to care for them? He made them clothes. 

Due to their disobedience they recognised their vulnerability, and God still provided for them eventhough they had taken their trust away from Him. How awesome is God?! He still cares, He still loves and still provides even when we do the opposite to what He wants. 


Why does God do that?


Surely that shows something of the extent of the investment God has made in us, the measure of His love. A love that is not dependent on performance, on getting it right, of obeying all of the rules or being the best. That is the kind of love the Lord God has for us - a love that stays with us even when we mess up, when we are disobedient and test the boundaries, even when we walk away, God's love remains. His love still looks out for us and does what it can for us even in the simple everyday provision of food, shelter and clothing. 


Do you know that no matter what you have done or are doing, God is still providing what you need? 

Sure, your sin and disobedience will have some consequences, but losing God’s love is not one of them.
