Nothing Can Separate Us From God's Love

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 8:38-39 

Paul was convinced that nothing can separate us from the love of God.

And I'm convinced of the same.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord, we're attached to God's love at the hip.

And nothing can separate us.

Today, Abby, Kirk and I went to brunch in La Mesa.

We had a fun time catching up, eating outdoors, and thanking God for good food and family.

Nothing Will Separate Us From the Love of God in Jesus

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 8:38-39 

God has promised that nothing will ever separate us from His love.

What a wonderful and reassuring promise.

Neither life or death.

Not angels or demons.

Not the present or the future.

Neither height no depth.

Nothing in all creation will be able to separate us from God's love in Christ Jesus.

After all, He is our Lord and Savior.

Put on the Full Armor of God

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. — Ephesians 6:12-13

We are only visitors to this world.

It's not our home, thank goodness.

We don't struggle agains humankind but again the spiritual forces of evil.

God has let the evil powers run rampant in our world today.

But we know the end of the story.

And He reigns supreme over earth and heaven and all creation.

When I remember to put on the breastplate of righteousness and the helmet of salvation, I am protected from the evil around me.

When I put on the shoes of the gospel of peace, I'm able to stand against it all.

And the full armor of God protects me but also helps me stand.

The Sword of the Spirit gives me the protection of God's Word to guide and direct my life.

All Things Have Been Created Through Him

For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. — Colossians 1:16

God has created all things.

Things in heaven and things on earth.

Everything visible and invisible.

Powers, rulers, and authorities - the Lord has created them all.

He. has created us for His purpose.

Nothing Can Separate Us from God's Love

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 8:38-39

Nothing can separate me from God's love.

He has paid for my sins with the blood of his Son, Jesus.

And now I'm His.

Nothing can separate us.

Not the present or the future.

No powers, nor anything else in all creation.

Not angels or demons.

Nothing will be able to separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus my Lord.

When I'm out hiking, I'm reminded of that through the beauty of His creation.

What an amazing blessing.

All Things Have Been Created By Him

For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. — Colossians 1:16

All things were created.

And what an amazing creation it is.

Just beautiful.

Kirk has been feedting our plants, and they look very healthy.

They're bursting with happiness.

All things have been creaed by God.

Created for our enjoyment.

Thank you, Lord!

This past weekend, Abby and I spent some time in San Francisco.

We rode the cable cars and did lots of walking (twice up Lombard Street).

The weather was beautiful.

We even got to walk the labyrinth at Grace Cathedral and praise God in worship at Hillsong Church.

God's creation drew us closer to Him and to each other on this trip.

As we rode the boat under the Golden Gate bridge and rode on the bus across it, we were reminded of God's creation and His love for us.
