TRUST HIS LOVE FOR YOU!

5-12-2010. . . . TRUST HIS LOVE FOR YOU!

“Who then can ever keep Christ's love from us? When we have trouble or calamity, when we are hunted down or destroyed, is it because he doesn't love us anymore? And if we are hungry or penniless or in danger or threatened with death, has God deserted us?” (Rom 8:35 TLB)   Bad things not only happen to bad people, they happen to good people as well! Life is just that way! While circumstances in life may change, the love Christ has for us does not change. He loves us before every circumstance - - In every circumstance - - and through every circumstance! No need to doubt or accuse Him falsely, trust Him and trust His love for you! It will prepare you for it - - keep you in it - - and deliver you from it!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your love! Although circumstances in life tempt us to waver and doubt, help us always remember you never change and your love for us remains the same. Amen!

Eph 3:14-18. . . . When I think of the wisdom and scope of his plan, I fall down on my knees and pray to the Father of all the great family of God-some of them already in heaven and some down here on earth- that out of his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you the mighty inner strengthening of his Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all God's children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God himself. TLB
