Manna for Your Morning

Who shall ever separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? — Romans 8:35 (AMP) Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39 AMP) Don’t get distracted and drift away, nor let your heart be deceived and turn to follow idols. Let there be no separation between you and Yeshua, our Lord and Savior, and His unfailing love. Abide in Him and live convinced that not even death can separate you from His amazing love.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...”  — Hosea 4:6 (NASB1995) In Hosea 4:6 (NLT) the LORD says: “My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me…” Know that the LORD is good (See Psalms 34:8) Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek Him. (See Hebrews 11:6 NLT) Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. (Hebrews 10:35-36 NASB1995) Know that because God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (See John 3:16) Yeshua is the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. The sheep follow him because they know his voice. (See John 10:11 & 10:4) We need to know the voice of our Shepherd, so we can follow Him. May we know Him and personally experience th...

The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.” — Jeremiah 31:3 (NKJV) How precious is the lovingkindness of God! ...the children of men take refuge in the shadow of His wings. (See Psalm 36:7 NASB1995) Yahweh draws us to Himself with lovingkindness. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. (Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT) Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. — Psalm 63:3-4 (NASB1995)

Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!  — Ephesians 3:18-19 (TPT) What amazing love the God has lavished on us! His love never fails. God hears every cry, knows every anxious thought and He rescues, delivers and saves. Because of His love, Jesus stretched out His arms on the cross and became the ultimate sacrifice to pay the debt of our sins. …Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the...

And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. — Ephesians 3:18-19 (NLT) It’s an unconditional love that says, “no matter how bad you messed up, I forgive you.” It’s a love so strong, that even when we walk away or turn our backs to Him, He still loves us and holds His arms open wide upon our return. It’s a love so generous, that Jesus, gave His life for our reconciliation to the Father. God desires to be in fellowship with us, His beloved children. He takes great delight in us. Nothing on this earth can separate us from His unstoppable love. We will only experience the fullness of His life and power in us, when we begin to understand this amazing, amazing love we have in God.

If I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. — 1 Corinthians 13:1 (AMP) Let us all be inspired by the love God has shown to us. For God loved the world so much that He intentionally gave his one and only Son, so everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). Love is an action word. To show love and truly serve humanity is something we have to purpose in our hearts and actually follow through with our “DOING.” Are you just going to make a lot of noise or are you going to intentionally touch others with the sacrificial, genuine love of Christ? It’s your choice. Choose wisely!

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  — Ephesians 3:17-19 (NIV) Let's dive deeper and deeper into the love of Christ. His love is a pool of pure pleasure and delight for our souls. Take the plunge! His love is cleansing and freeing. His loves breaks shackles and destroys bondages. His love NEVER gives up on us. It stands by us. Others may abandon us, but His love never runs out on us. His love is an everlasting flow that constantly pours into our lives. His love is extravagant! And nothing can separate us from the great love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:39). Hallelujah!
