Nothing. Not One Thing.


I've been ruminating on some verses lately. This being one of them:

Romans 8:38-49 (New King James Version) 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 created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I think sometimes I forget that this is true of hurts in my life. Sins that have entangled. Things I've done. Things done to me. But God's grace, Jesus' love for me, reaches beyond all of this. Nothing can separate me from the love of God.


Nothing.

Not ANY thing.

No thing.

(Are you listening?)

No thing that you have done. No thing that has been done to you. Not ANY thing past, present or future. NOTHING. Can separate you from the love of Christ Jesus.

not. any. thing.

Ladies, He loves us. Are you hurting from the unfairness of life? Are you overwhelmed with the day to day? Is your heart broken? Let me remind you of who you are in Christ. Take a moment. Read these words and soak them in.

You have a loving Father.
You have been fearfully and wonderfully made.
He has a specific plan for your life.
You have been chosen.
And forgiven.
And bought at a price.
NOTHING can change how much you're loved.
You are worthy.

Now tell Him how much you love Him. Pour out your heart over these things and thank Him. And then go live it, my friend. Live in this place of confidence and courage to face the day. And remember.

Not. Any. Thing.

Nothing can separate you from the LOVE of God.
