Convinced That....

I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither present nor future, nor powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is ours in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~ Romans 8:38-39


Separation scares us.  Separation often means a loss of someone, or something.  Most of the time separation involves an unwanted circumstance we didn't create.  Jesus was separated from a perfect paradise in order to come save mankind from their own sinful, selfish and destructive selfs.  If you have confessed with your mighty mouth and believe in your heart that Christ is Lord, He promises YOU that you will never be separated from his unconditional love - no matter where you are, where you have been, what you have done, the choices you have made, the regrets you have - He will not take his unconditional love from you.  Period.  Jesus bridged the massive gap between us and our Creator so that we would not have to be separated from God; that was the whole point of his heartbreaking surrender.  If you are a follower of Jesus, then the demons this world may throw your way, the demons that have been allowed to mess with you and even the demons you have invited into your own life and have willingly listened to can NOT win and separate you from God's unfailing love.  There is nothing you can do that will make God STOP loving you.  NOTHING.  Period.  Think of the most sinful thing you can imagine.  God still LOVES you through that.  Praise God! ~ Amen



Love Enemies

But love your enemies, do good to them and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.  Then your reward will be great and you will...
