'For while we were still weak, at the right time
Christ died for the ungodly.
For one will scarecly die for a righteous person-
though perhaps for a good person one would dare to die--
but God shows His love for us in that while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.'
Romans 5:8
'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved us.
For I am sure that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor rulers,
nor things present nor things to come,
nor powers, nor heights, nor depths,
nor anything else in all of creation,
will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus.'
Romans 8:35,37-39
What love! A love so gracious it is not given based upon merit; a love so selfless it gave it's life and only Son; a love so binding that nothing can separate us from it; a love so protective that it covers us like a garment in the midst of this painful and bloody journey of life; a love so flawless that it is not subject to the fallen human state of our flawed efforts to love. This is the love that is yours should you choose to accept it. May God's overwhelming love capture your heart this day. May you find peace and rest within the great depths of His affection and may it spill over into every other area and relationship in this life you live.
Happy Valentine's Day sweet friends!
