Christ's love

But your loyal love, Lord, extends to the skies; your faithfulness reaches the clouds. ~ Psalm 36:5 (CEB)

Who can separate us from Christ’s love? Can trouble or hard times or harm or hunger? Can nakedness or danger or war? ~ Romans 8:35 (NIRV)

Lord, we have problems. But none of them are greater than your loyal love. Your love in more powerful than all the problems and all the enemies. Nothing can cancel it out. Nothing can defeat it. Sometimes I let my problems overwhelm me. But if I'm reading you right -- even my doubts -- even my sin -- can't shut you down. You just keep on loving and loving and loving. And that realization is exactly what I need to move forward and face the challenges of today in a healthy way. Thank you. Amen.
