Secure In God's Love!

Nothing can get between us and God's love. - Romans 8:39 TM

Opinions are powerful things! They either build us up or tear us down. They create a ceiling above which we cannot rise. That's why it's important to get God's opinion of you and stick with it. If others disagree, so what? You wouldn't be so critical of yourself or so conscious of the opinions of others - if you really knew how God felt about you! He made up His mind about you before you sinned. So when you sin, repent. Then dismiss the guilt, for guilt is the product of doubt; it denies you the benefits of God's grace.
Stop running from person to person looking for love. Just open your Bible; it's a living love letter, a statement of intent from a Father who wants nothing but the best for His children. If you doubt that, read this: "Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There's no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing...not even the worst sins listed in Scripture...None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that... nothing can get between us and God's love" (Romans 8:35-39 TM).
"But I fall so far short," you say. We all do! Yet nothing you've done has changed God's mind about you, and nothing ever will! His love remains; it's unconditional, constant and guaranteed: "His mercy endures forever" (Ps 136:1 NKJV). God's love for you is set in concrete; it has no cut off point! And that's the foundation you can build your life on!
