thoughts for today - Nothing Can Separate Us From God's Love

Romans 8:35-39 Nothing Can Separate Us From God's Love
Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, "For Your sake we are killed all the day long. We are counted as sheep of slaughter." 37 But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ...


THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

this is one of the pivotal life passsages from youth that continues to not only leave me standing in awe but continues to wrought freedom and faith in my spirit. i am loved and there is nothing that can diminish that love, reduce it or come between God and I. implication - what i have done and what i will do does not seperate me from God's love. nothing done to us by others can reduce God's love and acceptance for us.


I WAS READING A BOOK CALLED JESUS CALLING AND MY DEVOTION WAS

DO NOT EXPECT TO BE TREATED FAIRLY IN THIS LIFE
PEOPLE WILL SAY AND DO HURTFUL THINGS TO YOU,THINGS THAT YOU DON'T DESERVE. WHEN SOMEONE MISTREATS YOU,TRY TO VIEW IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW IN GRACE. SEE HOW QUICKLY YOU CAN FORGIVE THE ONE WHO HAS WOUNDED YOU. DON'T BE CONCERN ABOUT SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT. INSTEAD OF OBSESSING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS OF YOU , KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON ME. ULTIMATELY, IT IS MY VIEW OF YOU THAT COUNTS.

AS YOU CONCENTRATE ON RELATING TO ME, REMEMBER THAT I HAVE CLOTHED YOU IN MY RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS. I SEE YOU ATTIRED IN THESE RADIANT GARMENTS, WHICH I BOUGHT FOR YOU WITH MY BLOOD. THIS ALSO IS NOT FAIR; IT IS PURE GIFT. WHEN OTHERS TREAT YOU UNFAIRLY , REMEMBER THAT MY WAYS WITH YOU ARE MUCH BETTER THAN FAIR . MY WAYS ARE PEACE AND LOVE , WHICH I HAVE POURED OUT INTO YOUR HEART BY MY SPIRIT.



MY THOUGHTS

Sometimes it seems the world is caving in on me maybe you too but remember
the love of the father is always there and i know its easy to take our eyes off that
i have been going through so much lately but this i do know jesus loves me this i know for the bible tell me so .Sometimes we are weak we fall into stuff
we sin we are sinners saved by grace and even if you are addicted to stuff God will never let you go if you hang in there .....

C.S. Lewis indicated that if he wanted something easy and pain-free, he would have chosen a bottle of wine over Jesus. There is no question that biblical http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giflove leaves us more vulnerable. But this will not be the devastating vulnerability that comes with psychologically needing people. Christians need less and love more.
