Good day everyone and praise the Lord for mercy and grace. On this last day of February I feel in my spirit that I must point you to scripture that points out that God’s love is forever. Let the scripture bless you.
Today’s Prayer
Father, I come before You today on behalf of my brothers and sisters everywhere to admit that we spend tremendous amounts of time chasing happiness. It’s like trying to catch a butterfly, no matter how hard we try some times it just doesn’t happen, but when we are not trying, one may come to rest on our shoulder. Help us to realize that happiness is like a butterfly; we’ll never find it. But if we love our families and spend time with them, if we try to make our world a better place, and if we serve You and show Your love to others, then happiness will find us! Thank You for letting our hearts sing today. In the wonderful name of Jesus we pray and give thanks, Amen and Amen.
Let’s eat.
Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love
Romans 8:31-39 –
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
