The Power Of Love

You know, I was thinking. Every now and then I like to take a trip to the book of Romans for a little extra pick me up. Today this particular scripture is on my heart from Romans chapter 8:

31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What Paul is saying here is that there is nothing that we can do to stop God from loving us. God loves the best of the best and the worst of the worst! His love is perfect! There is absolutely nothing that we could possibly ever do in our lives that would stop God's love for us. I don't know about you but where I come from that is totally awesome! Now, what should our response be once we learn to accept God's love? As far as I am concerned I want to make God happy! I want to please Him! I want to live each and every day the best I can for Him. We are so blessed to have this love in our lives. Don't ever question it or doubt it. It is the most sure thing that any of us can put our hope in. Be blessed beyond belief today.
