'...While having coffee all alone and Lord, it took me away.'

Costa and bible date...I'm such a sophisticated woman now

 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: 38-39


My title for this post is actually a Taylor Swift lyric and it just so happened to fit in with my blog, because, I was in fact having coffee all alone, and the Lord really did blow me away. (I mean obviously her lyrics don't imply that. She is actually speaking about...yeah, you guessed it- an ex boyfriend!)

I've been absolutely absorbed by the book- The Dating Dilemma. Slightly obsessed with Rachel Gardner and her inspiring, feisty and epic ways, (have I mentioned she is like in the top 10 prettiest women I've met?) A true legend. Anyway, enough of the fan-girling! I went to one of her seminars in the summer and it really caused a reaction inside of me to go on and do what she does; tell wonderful young people about a wonderful God who loves us and wants us to know about it.
So,
I was reading through my book and out popped Romans 8: 38-39 about how God's love for us is so boundless and powerful and fearless that nothing in the history of the universe, in all existence, can stop it. Not ever. That's the affect that this guy called Jesus managed to create just through ya know, a few miracles, some flawed disciples and a violent death. He changed the course of history till the end of time, and sometimes I kind of forget about how big that is.
On Thursday morning I was reminded again, sitting having coffee on my own and asking Jesus what he wanted to tell me. He told me this-

 'My love for you is a powerful, uncontrollable force that has and will continue to change people's lives until the end of time'

Thanks, Jesus.
You never fail to surprise me.
