Christmas LightsSample

We’ve all messed up. Maybe you accidentally scratched your parents’ car or you lied to a friend. We could point to something that pushed us further from someone we cared about, which makes this verse amazing. Paul, the guy who wrote this, is saying that there is NOTHING we can do that separates us from God. And Paul should know. He had a bad past—it included being responsible for the death of people who followed Jesus. So it’s true for Paul, and it’s true for you.  

What a relief, right? Today, write down a few things you may have thought would separate you from God’s love. Then put a big red “X” through them, writing below them, “nothing separates me from God’s love.” Isn’t that a relief? God’s love for us is unchanging, even when we are at our worst.
