I accepted Christ as a high schooler. I went to a Campus Life meeting downtown. Afterward, I remember sitting in my bedroom, looking out the window thinking and praying, (Lord, I want Your love.) Since then, I have traveled many paths through this life. Some pretty horrible back roads too. I've walked away from Him and returned more times than I can count. Think Prodigal Son - times five. Or six.
Worldly distractions.
Peer pressures.
Fears over acceptance.
Temptations.
Rebellions.
Arrogance.
Sickness.
Anger at God too.
Seasons of disbelief.
May I please add these to the list of "nor anything else"?
I love You, Lord. But I've had seasons. I've had chapters - where it might have not been so apparent.
Thank You, Jesus, for being better at this than I am. For loving us so completely that nothing can separate us. Nothing.
I know this. Death, life, angels, rulers, things happening now, things that will happen, high things, low things; nothing else in all the world can come between us and God's love in Christ Jesus our Lord. (WE)
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. (MSG)
Loved… forever.
