Something to think about

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

God's Word is living and it's full of His promises to us. It's an enormous book riddled with overwhelming love for His children. A novel that says He will always be there for us. He will be there no matter what.

If you weren't blessed with a loving earthly father - you still have a father. One who will never let you down.

If you have allowed yourself or have been forced into being a victim of circumstance, it doesn't matter. God doesn't care what you've done. We have an amazing, loving, and gracious God who isn't afraid to get His hands dirty. It includes any circumstance under the sun, I promise you that.  Even if you feel unworthy of His love - you are worthy. Jesus bound the chasm for us between God and His children. You're never "too far gone" for God.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses. made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved.) - Ephesians 2:4-5

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus - Romans 3:23-24

No matter what you think about a particular "sin", in God's eyes a sin is a sin is a sin.  It's more than our earthly minds can grasp. Kind of like eternity, can you fathom "forever"?  Murder, lying, stealing, adultery, cheating in any other way, greed, gluttony, vanity, etc... It's all equally sinful to God. Tough to understand, yeah? All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death. -1 John 5:17

Think of it this way: Parents, do they not love their children in a similar way? No matter what they do you can't stop loving them. So, in a way their wrongs are on the same playing field otherwise one mistake might make you love them less or not at all. Don't confuse disappointment with less love.  It's no different for God except that He is exponentially more understanding and gracious. Aren't we His babies?

He will always take us back. He loves us unconditionally.

"There's power in the blood of Jesus and your Father's screaming just come home! He's holding out his hands."

Amazing and powerful song.
