I’m convinced that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ Jesus our Lord; not death or life, not angels or rulers, not present things or future things, not powers or height or depth, or any other thing that is created.
– Romans 8:38-39 (CEB)
In the spring of 2023, we had a guest author, Natalee Creech, come to the Edmond Campus to read her book, Nothing Can Separate You From God’s Love! The wonderfully illustrated book goes through various scenarios to teach young children that there isn’t anything that would make God not love them.
This message is so important for young children but also for people of all ages. Deep in my core, I know that God loves me, and there isn’t anything I could do that would make Him stop loving me. However, I must be honest, at times, I have had my doubts. From time to time, I have wondered if that action I made or the comment I off-handily made to others would result in Him not loving me as much. The hard truth is that His love is unconditional. Sometimes, as humans, we have a hard time understanding that concept. We base so much on circumstances and our feelings to truly understand his unwavering love.
This Lenten season, I want you to remember that God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son. God’s greatest gift is the love, grace, and sacrifice of His only son, Jesus Christ. His love is everlasting, and we are all worthy of His love each and every day.
“There is nothing so powerful, nothing so strong: God’s love is too high and too deep and too long!”
Jocelyn Morgan, Edmond Campus Director of Children’s Ministry
