Can He stop loving you?

Nothing can seperate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:34-39). It is amazing to read this part of God's word and it is quite humbling. This past few days, I came to the reality of this truth in my life. God is Holy-Holy-Holy, how can he take imperfect vessels like us and associate with them? David must have been stomped by this too when he said "What is man that you are mindful of him?"

When I was going through some challenges, satan started sowing his negative thoughts in my heart; I know its satan because God spoke to me later and it was clear what His thoughts were for me. When one is going through challenges (even the mess we get ourselves into), God's love for us never changes.

I was confused and I said to God can you ever forgive me? His reply was simply this; while I was yet a sinner he died for me, how much more will I be saved by his life. Our mind always overthink these things because they are not logical, we think and judge as human. God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours. Love is the higher way.

My understanding of this is that He can't stop loving me, I know religion will tell us that is not true but have you read Romans 8? It mentioned everything that in our mind should take us far from God but He still said 'nothing' can separate us from his love. What is our response to this........I think Jesus made it clear, our work is ONLY BELIEVE.

Having faith in his love changes us. Everytime I am hurt and I desperately want to hold someone in my heart and not forgive. I then remember what kind of love God shows me, everything becomes easy from there. It's great!

Who is like Him?

I should have written this yesterday, but I have just been dazed by how good my God is. This is the greatest 'high' anyone can get. God's love is real and he is faithful to his word. God just turned around a situation that is impossible, every one said it couldn't be. My whole family is completely stunned till now. This has brought light and new confidence in him. This is the best way to witness, they confessing that God must be with me. Lord I am still amazed and it feels like I'm dreaming. When the Lord turned the captivity of Zion around they were like them that dreamt. I need to still give the full details of how God showed me mercy and brought me out of the path to destruction but I have to break it down into bits. I have not really been able to fathom this love, just as Paul said 'it surpasses knowledge'. I am looking forward to walking with him all my life. Why will I not, when his love for me is so perfect that he didn't spare himself to be in a relationship with me but freely gave his life for me. Even now He is alive for me to live justified and free. Jesus you are simply awesome!
