The Love That Never Lets Go

Thank you for subscribing-may these words bring a quiet moment of peace and reflection to your day.

Backstory:
This week, my mom and I memorized Romans 8:38-39 together. The more I repeated these verses, the more I realized how comforting and powerful they are. Life brings hardships, losses, fears, and unanswered questions, and sometimes those things can make us feel distant from God. But Paul reminds us that our circumstances do not determine God's love for us. Because of Jesus Christ, nothing in this life or the next can separate us from His unfailing love.

The Love That Never Lets Go

Nothing can separate us from the love of God,
He is constantly cheering us on in our cheer squad.
Death can’t separate us from Him, Because of His Beloved Son,
For He fought the good fight and the victory over death was won.

Our Father will always be there no matter what happens in life,
Even if our troubles seem so big and full of strife.
No force, seen or unseen is greater than our Father’s love,
For He showers it upon us from up above.

We don’t need to worry or stress about today or tomorrow
Because our Father has us in His hands so we can go with the flow.
There is no mountain so high and no valley so deep
Where He cannot find us because we are His Beloved Sheep.

There may be times when we might feel alone
Like we are walking on a road on our own.
But His love is always with us no matter where we are
And His loving touch can heal our every scar.

Our Father knew we would occasionally fall,
So He sent His Son to suffer for us all.
The love of our Father because of His Son,
Shines its beautiful rays upon us like the sun.

The Takeaway: There may be seasons when we feel alone, forgotten, or overwhelmed, but God's love remains constant. No trial is too deep, no future too uncertain, and no power too great to separate us from Him. In Christ, we are forever held in the embrace of a love that never lets go.

Tender Mercies While We Wait

Thank you for subscribing-may these words bring a quiet moment of peace and reflection to your day.

Backstory:
Abraham and Sarah were promised a son, but the promise didn’t come quickly. There were long years of waiting — years of watching others receive what they had prayed for. When Sarah laughed at the angel’s words, I imagine it was the sound of hope stretched thin. I understand that kind of waiting. There are miracles I have prayed for that have not come in the way I expected. Some days I still wonder if they ever will. But most days I try to be grateful for what I have and the every day tender mercies that come my way.

Tender Mercies While We Wait

Abraham and Sarah waited so long for their miracle to occur,
It was probably way longer than they would prefer.
However, they had no choice but to wait
And at times their hearts bore a heavy weight.

When the angel told them they would have a son in their old age,
Their first reaction was to laugh because it seemed funny at their stage.
They were finally blessed with a son
And their long wait was done.

We sometimes have to wait for blessings to come,
Even when we feel we’ve earned more than some.
Some have to wait a long time to get married,
And their dreams of that life might feel buried.

Some people like me, have to endure years of infertility
Even though they press through that time with dignity.
Some face every day with chronic illness
And they might doubt in the stillness.

Even though we have to wait longer than we would like to
We need to seek a higher, Heavenly view.
We should notice the every day tender mercies that come our way,
So that while we wait, our emotional sky won’t seem so gray.

The Takeaway: While we wait for the miracles we once imagined, we can learn to notice the quieter ones — the strength to keep going, the peace that steadies us, the kindness that arrives at just the right time. Maybe not all miracles change our circumstances. Some simply carry us through them.
