Convinced

(One of my favorite places on the loooong, straight road to my Dad's house.)
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:

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 unthinkableabsolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

(Not even me!)

verses from Romans 8

Thank you for that beautiful reminder. It was much needed today.

I especially appreciate your parenthetical statement, "not even me." I would have this as a headline this morning. :) Thank you for that reminder. Have a wonderful weekend.
