“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39
I honestly do not think there is any way that we can fully comprehend the truth that is conveyed in that message. At least I can’t. It is hard enough to try and understand what it even means for God to love me, let alone that there is no outside force strong enough to separate me from that overwhelming love.
Feel the weight of that for just a moment. No government. No demon. No person. No event. NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. I wonder if that is the reality that hit the Israelites in Nehemiah after years of straying away and living in captivity? To return, no, not just return, but to be welcomed with abundant grace and mercy into the arms of the Almighty.
This should give us some of the greatest cause for celebration.
What amazes you the most about God’s love?
*To any readers unsure as to why I’m talking about celebration everyday, it’s because Crossroads Church is using this week to celebrate and rejoice in our great God. We’re doing a book study on Nehemiah and you should come join us!*
