Nothing Can Separate Us From God’s Love

It took me a while to understand and appreciate the book of Romans. It's only recently that this book opened up to me. But this time I felt guided by the Holy Spirit and that makes all the difference ;)

I could hardly finish a chapter because I was overwhelmed by so much beauty, wisdom, and insight. I must have written 3 of 4 songs per chapter. And Romans 8 gave me a whopping 8 songs or so! 😅 This is the first of that Romans 8 series.

I want to tell you a short testimony of my wife Janis. A little over 5 years ago she gave her life to Jesus. This happened after having made a spectacular mess of her life. A few months after her conversion she was in the kitchen, talking to God, and she told Him she felt so bad and so unworthy of His love. She feared she could never make up for the mess she had made, in her past life. Then, (she told me later), she felt as if she was struck by lightning and felt God's indignation. God told her, in no uncertain terms, "Dear Djen, please listen to me and get this through your head, I love you and that is my choice, and my choice alone. Even if you don't ever pray again, even if you don't ever talk to me again, I love you and nothing you'll ever do or say can ever change that."

When she heard that, she almost felt sick to her stomach, it was more love than she could handle. She has since learned what it means to be a child of God and has developed one of the most beautiful and natural relationships with Jesus I've ever witnessed.

Why do you think this is called Project of Love? (Which by the way, is the name Jesus gave me in a dream. With the words: "Together we will show the heart of the Father to the world".) Because He's saying, "I love you. And nothing you do or say will ever change that."

He's crazy about you. Let nobody ever convince you otherwise.❤️

Romans 8 - Nothing Can Separate Us From God’s Love

38. I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.
Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither our fears for today
nor our worries about tomorrow —
not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

39. No power in the sky above
or in the earth below —
no, nothing in all creation
will ever be able to separate us
from the love of God
that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
