Nothing Can Keep Me From God!

“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]

Can you imagine it? …Paul speaking this? Can you imagine the type of emotion that was placed into these words?! This was no passive tone! When you just read it in your head, that was passive, all you did was just read it… Now go back to it. Read it as if you were the one actually saying them! Read it as if it was the last thing you could ever say, the only thing that you could get across to someone! Go ahead, read it! I’m waiting…

Now think about it. God loves us! No… GOD LOVES US!!!!! He is the very essence of happiness in our lives! Who else could love you like that? Who else could love you through thick and thin like God does? As humans we doubt, we lose our hope, and we lose our faith (not only in God but in ourselves). Well, here is something new- God never loses hope in you! He loves you, he created you… You are loved! YOU ARE LOVED!!!! WE ARE LOVED!!!! Now let us go out into this world knowing this. Let it be our strength!

And don’t you ever forget it.
