Are You Convinced?

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither 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.”
Romans 8:38-39
 
 
Are you convinced?
Or is it a maybe?
Paul was convinced.
There was no ‘perhaps’ in his heart.
Say it out loud…I am convinced
We can be that certain of God’s love for us.
He loves us even when or if we do not love Him.
His love for us is not contingent on reciprocation.
God does not sit in heaven and say to us: “I’ll love you if you love me!”
(and only if you do!)
Maybe we feel He does because our love for Him can be so fickle.
Gimme this and I will love you…
Just let me….and I will love you.
We are the ones who attach the strings, not God.
God loves those who hate Him.
He didn’t send His one and only Son to die for His ‘fan club’ on the earth.
His love extends to all.
We are free to receive it or we are free to reject it.
I don’t know about you, but I am convinced
…that nothing will be able to separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus!
