Love in control

“No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 8: 39

EVEN when we feel we’re not in control, we’re not powerless. Faced with spiraling international and local threats and events beyond our own control, we must remind ourselves that no force in hell can take away the changes God has made in the hearts of those who follow Jesus. The impact of the pandemic, attempts in Europe to ban the use of the word “Christmas”, growing crime and poverty, may at times make us feel frustrated and helpless, but actually they underline the importance of Christians being a force for God’s good in a changing, harsher world. When we’re troubled or feel vulnerable and confused, we must turn to Him, our source of loving power that changes lives. Come, Lord, have Your way among us, in us and through us and we will overcome.
