nothing

I am sure of this. Nothing can stop God from loving us. Death cannot do that. Life cannot do that. Angels cannot do that, nor can demons do that. Nothing that happens to us now, or that will happen in a future time can do that. No powerful spirits can do that. Nothing that is high above the world can do that, nor anything that is deep down below the ground. Nothing else in the whole universe can stop God from loving us. Because of our Lord Christ Jesus, we know how much God loves us.

- Romans 8:38-39 (EASY)

 

First, did you know there is a translation of the Bible called the Easy English Bible? 
I did not, but I like what it says about these two verses. 
In today's world, there is a significant focus on mental health. 

Many of us have faced tough times that make us feel unworthy of love, especially the love of an almighty Father.

But remember, you are enough.

A few years ago, I attended a Bible study where the leader asked us to find verses that demonstrate God's love for us.

If this verse doesn't convey that we are loved, I'm not sure what will.

Nothing could prevent Jesus from coming to save me.

No distance between heaven and earth, no tyrannical king trying to end His life, no jeering mobs shouting "crucify him," no disciples abandoning Him, no soldiers mocking Him, no whip tearing His flesh, and no cross taking His physical life. 

Not one thing stopped Jesus from saving us.

Not one thing.

You are enough.

While we may never be in control of our life circumstances, fully trusting in Him brings relaxation and peace.

Interestingly, this verse doesn't mention trust.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. Trust that He will keep you safe. Because of Jesus' sacrifice, we can be assured that we will never be separated from God's love. You ARE enough.

Read the NIV translation of this verse:
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.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.

Trust that He will keep you safe.

Because of Jesus' sacrifice, we can be assured that we will never be separated from God's love.

You ARE enough.
