Romans 8: 38-39, “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor power, nor height, not depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
As I was rereading yesterday’s post something in what T Austin-Sparks wrote hit me. He wrote, “there is not a power that can alter it.” (God’s love.) The pressure is off. Nothing can stop God’s love. Nothing can stop His calling. Nothing can stop His predestination. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you;” (Jeremiah 1:5) We can struggle against God’s love, we can reject it even… but we cannot stop it.
Yes we need to walk in His love. Yes we need to be love, but even if we are not it does not change God’s plan. He has a counter for every action, and that counter is love. That counter is calling us to Himself. Worried about loved ones? Rest in God’s indestructible, unstoppable love. God does not only have a master plan to save “some.” God has a master plan for your individual life. God has a master plan for the next hour, min, and second of your existence. Nothing can “separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Tap into it by abiding in the place where that inseparable love resides… in Christ.
