A rare Facebook diary kind of moment that started with a sincere question from a brother in Christ - Erik Jonzie Jones Do you ever have one of those days or periods of time where you know that your mindset isnt right? Then while fighting within yourself it becomes obvious that God is trying to get your attention. Ive had this war within lately and even in my shame God is relentless in Love & Pursuit. Its as if He is saying to me, you cant hide and you cant bankrupt my abounding grace! If it werent for God being merciful to me, a sinner, Im convinced Id be dead by now. He has chosen me and called me unto Himself and like the loving Father that God is; He never stops teaching His children His wonderful ways! This night Im reminded of this truth from Gods word: What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:31-39 ESV)
