The Gift of Nothing
The Gift of Nothing || Day 5
2 Corinthians 6:10b NIV
having NOTHING, and yet possessing everything.
Winnie the Pooh said, “Doing nothing often leads to the very best of something”
So today and for all eternity, I am so extremely grateful for the gift of NOTHING that God has given to me, and I'm here to tell you that because of the “Gift of NOTHING”, "NO-THING" can now separate us from the love that God has for us.
Romans 8:31-39 MSG
“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:
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that NOTHING - NOTHING living or NOTHING dead, NOTHING angelic or NOTHING demonic, NOTHING today or NOTHING tomorrow, NOTHING high or NOTHING low, NOTHING thinkable or NOTHING unthinkable—
NO drug
NO past decision
NO regret
NO mistake
NO shame
NO sickness
NO disease
NO addiction
NO depression
NO stronghold
NO insecurity
NO doubt
NO anger
NO fear
NO chain
NO pain
NO divorce
NO scars
NO past
NO person
NO distance
NO deception
NO rejection
NO THING
NO ONE
NOTHING
absolutely NOTHING can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
