For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38-39
What powerful words! And what better way to start this blog than to lead it off with these unforgettable verses from the Book of Romans!
These verses give us hope when all appears to be lost. When the chips are down, when the world seems against us, when we are constantly met with failure, when the future seems uncertain, .we know that God is there. When we are afflicted with pain and illness, when we feel attacked by demonic forces, when the consequences of our sin come to haunt us, we know God is there. He will never leave us nor forsake us. No matter what circumstances you find yourself in, God still loves you. He will never alienate you or shame you for being “weak” in mind or body or spirit because His love does not come with conditions attached. You don’t have to be perfect or smart or wise or healthy or athletic or confident or successful or rich or talented. You don’t even need to have faith that can move mountains. All you need to do is accept the love that’s already been freely given to you and allow it to humble you to greatest depths of your soul.
When we are distressed, He provides us comfort. When we are frightened, He grants us His peace. When we are uncertain, He reassures us that He has everything covered. When we feel overwhelmed by our own shame and sinfulness, God is there to forgive us. When we are weak, He offers us His strength. When we are sick, He offers us healing and the strength to move on.
When we are at our lowest, that is when God shows us His strength. He will never abandon us. His love is truly an unconditional love. The world may reject us but He will never shun us or feel ashamed because of us. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will separate us from the love of God.
Hallelujah! Praise God! Praise Him for His unconditional love and grace!
I always wanted to create a blog in which I could express some of my personal views. So, here it is. I hope for it to be a place where people can read, think, meditate, and be inspired. You don’t have to agree. But my wish is for all believers to grow spiritually. We are all on this narrow road together. And it’s up to us to keep each other on that same narrow path.
