Inseperable
The Lord answered,
“Could a mother forget a child
who nurses at her breast?
Could she fail to love an infant
who came from her own body?
Even if a mother could forget,
I will never forget you. ~ Isaiah 49:15 (CEV)
I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. ~ Romans 8:38-39 (MSG)
KEY THOUGHT:
God will never forget to love and protect his children.
PRAYER:
God, your love is so powerful that nothing and no one can mess with it. I'm grateful. But I'm also aware that I worry about circumstances. Build up my confidence so that I can trust Christ to look out for me. Nothing can separate us. Amen.
