Non! Rien de Rien

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.
Romans 8:39 MSG

Sorry! I had years of learning French at school and the song: Rien de Rien was one I still remember. Basically it means: No Nothing!

Nothing! Absolutely nothing can separate us from God's love. God's love is like nothing else we know. Our love is based on 'cute' and 'makes me feel good.' I am glad God's love is not so as He chose to love us at our worst and loved us so much He gave His life for our eternal connection with Him. The catch is: we must choose Him and come into relationship with Him.

God's love is perfect and never fails. As He already chose to love us at our worst we cannot lose His love. We might think we can and run and hide but He is still waiting.

Prayer: Jesus forgive me for running and turning away. Take me as your friend. I want to know you. Show yourself to me. Amen!
