Who can keep us away from the love of Christ? Can trouble or problems? Can suffering wrong from others or having no food? Can it be because of no clothes or because of danger or war?
- Romans 8:35 (NLV)
Every day we face challenges, some of them more difficult than others.
The difficult ones often leave us feeling defeated, useless, or alone.
We are able to overcome these obstacles with help from our friends and family, but we need to remember that our biggest fan and cheerleader is God Himself.
Check out the Message translation of this verse:
So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
With God on our side there really is no stopping us, we can do anything we set our hearts to do!
I’ve known a lot of people who went back to college while having a family and a full-time job to finish a degree, that is huge!
There are people out there who put everything on the line to start a business of their own or change careers simply because it is their dream.
What is your dream?
What roadblocks do you need to overcome?
There is no stopping us when God is on our side!
