Some moments in life feel like they’re touched by eternity — a golden sunset, laughter shared around a table, or a quiet conversation that refreshes the soul. We wish those moments could last forever, yet, as our nightly prayer and scripture reminds us, life is fleeting — “a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James 4:14).

But while our time on earth is temporary, God’s mercy and love are eternal. His compassion never runs out, His faithfulness never fades, and His grace renews every morning (Lamentations 3:23). No matter what may crumble around us, His steadfast love endures forever — a truth repeated like a heartbeat through Psalm 136: “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.”

Sophia Bricker reminds us that this unending mercy is both personal and powerful. Every sunrise, every breath, every act of kindness is a reflection of God’s daily grace. These glimpses of beauty — the warmth of family, the comfort of a meal, the peace of a quiet moment — are gentle reminders of His compassion.

Yet the greatest expression of His love is found at the cross. There, Jesus gave His life so that we might gain eternal life — the ultimate act of mercy and grace. That truth gives us more than enough reason to live each day in gratitude.

God’s love is constant, limitless, and unchanging. While everything else has an end, His grace never will.
