Impossible

If you're more than like 5 minutes old you know one thing is certain: stuff in life will let you down or be taken from you. As babies, we were let down when our parents took away our pacifiers. As teenagers, we were let down when that certain boy or girl didn't like us back, or when mom and dad took away the car keys. As adults, we're still getting let down about that certain boy or girl not liking us back. We get let down when the economy looks like it's tanking and our life savings could be taken from us.

It seems like so many times in life, bad stuff happens and gets in the way of us getting where we want to be. For instance, you didn't get that job you KNEW was perfect for you and you deserved it the best. Or someone you love gets sick and you don't understand why your time with them may be cut short. Or someone breaks into your house and steals away everything that is of sentimental importance to you.

Those things happen. It's the harsh reality of life.

But you wanna know something that CAN'T be taken away from us? Something that is ours no matter what bad stuff gets in our way? (Yes, I promise, even though it sounds too good to be true, there is something that answers both of these questions).

No one can ever take away God's gift of Salvation from those of us who have made the decision to believe in Him and accept Him into our hearts. No one can ever take away God's love for us. No one can ever made God love us more, or less.

Don't believe me? Here's some Bible to back it up.

John 10:28-30
28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all;
no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and the Father are one.”

Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 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.

Right there in black and white. NOTHING can separate us from the love of God. NO ONE can snatch us from His hand. It's impossible! Wow!

So for those of you who feel let down by something right now, or are in a confused place where you don't understand the circumstances, remember this: God loves you, and that can never be taken away from you. If you have believed in the name of the Lord and accepted Him into your heart, you will live forever with Him in heaven. No if's and's or but's about it. It's yours.

Be encouraged, friends.

Til next time,
