Romans
8:38-39 (KJV) – “38 For I am persuaded, that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor
depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
This has been an emotionally
charged week. A childhood friend passed
away, several news reports told about bizarre and tragic train and automobile
fatal accidents; recalls of usually reliable food items and even wild animals
roaming the streets of major metropolitan cities. What is going on? Well whatever the cause or
the effect, we can rest assured that no matter what - we are in the loving care
of our God. Nothing new or old; foreign
or domestic; seen or unseen can separate us from the love of God. Nothing we can do or fail to do will disconnect
us from the powerful arms of our Creator.
God is all love and every motive he portrays is steeped in love.
As we approach the weekend I charge each of
us to look around and see the beauty of God’s love for us in the very simple things
in life. God is an awesome provider; a wonderful
comfort in the time of sorrow; a protective hand when dangers abound and a Father
who lavishes his love through mercy and grace.
Life is full of ups and downs but know that God in his loving nature has
our best in mind at all times. Enjoy all that life has to offer; no matter how
things appear on the surface; know that God is in control and we are never out
of his loving grasp.
Every day is a good
day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day.
Have a gratitude-filled weekend.
See you on Monday. Be blessed!. Dr. JoAnn
