Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. (Psalms 136:1)
And it ends:
Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever. (Psalms 136:26)
“His love endures forever” is the refrain repeated in every verse of Psalm 136. The psalmist seems to view every attribute of God and every action of God as evidence of God’s constant, never-ending love. For that love, for each attribute, and for every one of God’s actions, the psalmist issues a call to gratitude: “Give thanks to the LORD.”
When we respond to God with love, showing gratitude for our Creator or loving our neighbors, as God loves, we are taking part in something eternal. We are co-creating the universe of love together with God, and that universe never ends. It goes on and on and on. There is no stopping it.
How cool is that?
