Who could ever separate us from the endless love of God’s Anointed One? Absolutely no one! For nothing in the universe has the power to diminish his love toward us. Troubles, pressures, and problems are unable to come between us and heaven’s love. What about persecutions, deprivations, dangers, and death threats? No, for they are all impotent to hinder omnipotent love. So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One"! Romans 8:35, 38-39 (TPT)

If there was ever any truly good news that needed to be told—this is it! Nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate you from the unconditional, all accepting, healing and hopeful love of God, and His kind intentions towards you.

Life may pull you this way or that, with whatever rope it tries to use—despair, frustration, sorrow, guilt, or shame—but let go of those ropes, dear heart, and let God pull you instead with cords of love, into the glorious, lie-shattering, soul-healing, truth He has for you.

You are somebody special in all of your wonderful ways—seen and unseen! You belong to the One Who made the very universe, and who, with joy in His heart, quite happily, made you! 

Do you think He would ever let you go or ever let you down? It is impossible, cherished child, for He has you in the palm of His hand, and rest assured, even in the midst of the stress and storms, He has all that you care about, too.

Let the rains of His lavish love wash over you today. Let it strengthen you from within in; healing all that hurts; making all things new. That is what God’s never-ending, age enduring, love will do!

Prayer:

How marvellous this promise Lord, of Your redeeming love. That this love is for me, and for those I love—lavished upon us in Your kindness, never to be overcome or removed!

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me Lord, too high to attain, but by faith, and because of Who You are—the One Who never lies–I believe and I receive.

Let Your goodness overshadow me today, Gracious and Loving God. Let Your kindness and Your mercy unending, lead the way!

I lift my praise, filled with thanksgiving, to the God of all glory and grace!
