Not One Single Thing

 

Nothing. 

 

Absolutely not one thing can separate us from the vast depth of His love.

 

Not the ugliest of our sins.

 

Nor our calendars when they get way too full.

 

Not the posturing and maneuvering of church politics.

 

Or really scary financial woes.

 

Not our never-ending guilt trips, authored by the enemy of our souls.

 

Or our health issues, as terrifying as they seem.

 

Nor our shame, the heavy mantle that renders us immobile.

 

Our embarrassing family dramas and our sad or sordid pasts won't get in the way.

 

And neither can our addictions no matter how deep they sink their poisonous fangs.

 

Nothing.

 

Because when all is said and done, His love conquers all.

 

*

'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.'

-   Romans 8 {The Message}   -
