I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love–not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!
Romans 8:38-39
It always amazes me that God loves us no matter what. I don’t even know why He loves me, because I’m such a terrible person. He knows who I am, yet He still sent His son to die for my sins.
No matter what happens, no matter what is going on in our life. Our friends might abandon us, parents might kick you out, husband/wife might pack their bags and leave one day. God… He never will. I find comfort in the fact He’s always there. I also tend to take it for granted.
I wrote a song once called, Different. It’s mainly about how selfish I can be at times. The chorus goes.. “What if things were different, and you weren’t there? Would things still be the same? Would you hold my hand, tell me who I need to be? Would you still love me, would you still love me?”
What if God was not always there? I tend to take Him for granted more times than not, because I know He will always be there. I hate that part of me, the part that takes advantage of certain things. I take advantage of my husband. I’m use to him and I know he’ll always be here, so I tend to treat him badly at times. I tend to say the wrong thing, when easily I could have said the right. I get lazy, I get stupid.
Nothing can separate us from God, nothing we can do or say, will make Him love us any less, or make Him turn away. Everyone we know, will leave us at some point in time, in life. Either they mean too, or it’s by death. Even when we die, God is there. Here on earth, God is here. It’s amazing! We can not hide from him, no where we could run, can we hide.
I’m also amazed how He let’s us mess up, but even when we pursue our own needs, He is there. I always make a fool out of myself. Without even thinking some times, I venture out on my own. I follow the world and my desires, I get in trouble. God protects me each time, when He doesn’t have too. I have pushed Him away, but He doesn’t do the same to me. That kind of love, I can not comprehend, I am speechless at that kind of love.
The most amazing thing of all though, it’s not that we love God. It’s that He loves us.
