UNSTOPPABLE LOVE

PSALM 73:25 (CEB)
Do I have anyone else in heaven?
There’s nothing on earth I desire except you.


ROMANS 8:38-39 (MSG)
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.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
The unstoppable love of God made visible in Jesus is my all.

PRAYER
God, like the apostle Paul, I'm convinced that nothing is big enough or powerful to derail your love for us. Even when we reject you, you still love us. Amazing! Forgive me for thinking of anything else. Help me to reframe every thought and action in light of your love. I want it to be the driving force in my life. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
