Romans 8:38-39
And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
If after reading this scripture you don't feel Christ's love for you, you are not fully grasping the measure of his love towards you. NOTHING. Absolutely nothing can separate us from the love that he gives freely to us. If you've failed, if you've tried to run away from him, if you've failed and failed again, he still loves you! That is something to rejoice about. I don't know how many times I've messed up and I turn to him and still feel his love, still feel his assuring voice telling me that he loves me. People in our lives may love us but their love is not perfect, their love fails. God's love NEVER fails, it never changes. It's constant. It's true. Walk through this day and every day knowing that the Father, your Father loves you and nothing you do or don't do can change that fact!
