God’s Love For You Is Forever

Romans 8:35,37

This is not just Hollywood fantasy. This is actually the promise of the gospel. Believers are chosen by God. In Christ, we are fully accepted. As God’s children, we are absolutely cherished. The inspired words of Paul above assure us there’s not a thing in the universe that can alter this stunning fact.
God’s love gives us supreme confidence. It not only provides a safety net, but it also gives us wings. We have nothing to fear.
Regardless of how things seem right now, you are on God’s heart and in his mind. You are the target of his perfect love.
GOD’S PROMISE TO ME
• Nothing in the universe can keep me from loving you.
MY PRAYER TO GOD
Heavenly Father, nothing can ever separate me from your love. This seems too good to be true. Enable me to grasp the reality of your impossible-to-comprehend love. In my darkest moments, keep me going with this truth, one that will transform me.
