Romans 8:38-39
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.
This is a rLOVEution! Welcome to a 2008 where the fullness of God is for you to grasp in love.
We have a Father and Creator who didn’t create a single thing that could stop me from being loved. He has never changed His position of love towards me.
Moving away from a God that we thought was angry, disappointed and frustrated at us, we’ve all tried to find love somewhere else; anywhere else. If I’m honest, so much of my teenage years and early uni life, regardless of where I spent my Sunday mornings, was spent on trying to find something/someone/somewhere that would love me more and give me a greater sense of acceptance and value than I thought my God did.
But my God isn’t disappointed with me. And He’s not looking for something in exchange for His love.
He didn’t need me to love Him.
He wanted to love me.
Prayer for the week: Father, how great is the love you have poured out that you now call us children. You are a perfect father whose perfect love drives me to trust and rely on you alone. I can look forward to the best because you gave your best.
