For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Paul. Romans 8:38–39. Hi, it’s Nathan, and this is Day 6 of 30 Days of Pushing Back Fear. Persistent. Enduring. Determined. Without condition. That’s the nature of his faithful love for you. Sometimes our fears are grounded in our shame. ‘I’m afraid my darkness is too much for him to take in.’ No, my child, listen to the text deep in your heart: ‘neither death nor life’—not all of the life that you’ve lived—no matter how dark—is enough to turn back his great affection for you. ‘Ok. But what if I blow it, like tomorrow?’ Mmhm, I’m listening. Are you? Listen, again, more carefully this time. “Nor things to come”. That’s anything in the future. You literally cannot—now, or in the future—hold back the surge of his love for you. He will always love you, whether or not you ever love him back. So, my child, rest. Let go of your fears. He is safe to trust. In his love, you’ll be ok. Really.
