God's love is not based on your performance, your past, your failures, or your ability to get everything right. His love pursues you, welcomes you home, and holds onto you even when life feels broken.
In the story of the Prodigal Son, the father did not wait for his son to become worthy before showing love. While the son was still far away, the father saw him, ran to him, embraced him, and welcomed him home. God's love moves toward us before we have everything figured out.
Paul declares in Romans 8 that neither trouble, hardship, failure, suffering, death, life, powers, circumstances, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
What is God saying to me today?
What step of faith will I take this week?
Prayer
“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 creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39 (ASV)
