Devotion:
Read Romans 8:38-39.
We are all children of God. This scripture is so assuring and affirming in telling us that nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from the love of God. The fact that we have unconditional love through Jesus should create joy in our hearts and confidence for our future.
Let’s be honest. At times there are family members that we get frustrated with and for a time don’t even like them. But we always love them, no matter what. That is the way I think God feels. God knows our sins, our thoughts, and what we hide from others. He also knows our tendency to disobey and stray from him again and again. Still, because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, God always welcomes us back into his presence. God the Father has lavished his love and grace on us. He wants us to have the security of love for a full life forever. God made us, saves us, and instructs us. He will guide our paths daily if we will allow him and promises to lead us to his eternal home.
Do you ever wonder if you are good enough for God? Well, we’re not. But that’s the point. We are simply invited to love Him who first loved us, and to look forward to the time when he will call us to him! What an incredible future.
Personal Worship Option:
Dear God, help us lean into your infinite love and have the faith that we cannot be separated from you. Thank you for this unbelievable gift. Amen.
