When we’re caught up in the middle of an especially difficult time, it’s hard to see the bright future that will surely follow. It’s important for us to expand our perspective beyond the present and look back at past experiences. Remember how God came through for you over and over again in your life. There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God.
“In all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39(NASB)
Even when we stumble and fall victim to the schemes of the enemy, God remains by our side ready to wrap his arms around us when we come out the other side. Our God is a never-ending source of love and mercy.
“You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.” Psalm 86:15 (NASB)
As a follower of Jesus Christ, we receive and transmit God’s love every moment of every day. It is God’s love that has transformed us into children of God. It is God’s love that has empowered our Christian life and carries us forward into all eternity.
“We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” 1 John 4:16(NASB)
Life can be a struggle. We all make mistakes. In every circumstance, God is with us. God’s love fills the heart of every believer and is the power that lifts us up from despair and moves us forward to a bright new tomorrow.
