This is Namma for
Christ with the two hundred fiftieth inspirational message dated Monday, May
29th, 2023. The title of this message is “How Far – God Loves Us – Romans
8:38-39”.
The first two words of this message’s
title are also the words of the title
of the below inspirational song/video, “How Far” (with lyrics) as performed by the Christian
artist “Tasha Layton”. The below passage of scripture (that accompanies
this message) is from the thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth verses of the eighth
chapter of Romans:
Romans 8:38-39
New International Version - (NIV)
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the
love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
As to share with future readers and
to provide a brief quotation for critical review - I have included an
excerpt of the (May 29th) message from an inspirational book - (of
which I'd like to recommend). The below message was taken from "Jesus
Calling - Enjoying Peace In His Presence" as written by Sarah Young. This
daily devotional was written from the perspective as if JESUS - was saying "these
words" directly to "you"! (Please read the below
inspirational message:)
-----------------
I AM WITH YOU, watching over you constantly. I am
Immanuel (God with you); My Presence
enfolds you in radiant Love. Nothing, including the brightest blessings and the
darkest trials, can separate you from Me. Some of My children find Me more
readily during dark times, when difficulties force them to depend on Me. Others
feel closer to Me when their lives are filled with good things. They respond
with thanksgiving and praise, thus opening wide the door to My Presence.
I know precisely what you need to draw nearer to
Me. Go through each day looking for what I have prepared for you. Accept every
event as My hand-tailored provision for your needs. When you view your life
this way, the most reasonable response is to be thankful. Do not reject any of
My gifts; find Me in every situation.
Matthew 1:23
New King James Version - (NKJV)
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall
call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
Colossians 2:6-7
New International Version - (NIV)
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as
Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, 7 rooted and built up
in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with
thankfulness.
Also - see the below additional verses:
James 1:17-18
New International Version -
(NIV)
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming
down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like
shifting shadows. 18 He
chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a
kind of firstfruits of all He created.
John 3:16
New King James Version - (NKJV)
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.
I pray that you have enjoyed the above
message and I pray that you will enjoy the accompanied song.
May “we” as believers in Jesus Christ - remember - as the below song lyrics remind us
– of how far “God loves us”! As the
artist (Tasha Layton) of the below song shares (as her inspiration for creating
this song) – she states:
“It’s about how God
continues to reach out and pursues us even when we run from Him. It was God’s
love for us that propelled Him to give His life on the cross, Arms stretched
open wide – that’s how far He will go.”
Please enjoy the below
inspirational song/video, “How Far” (with lyrics) as performed by the Christian artist “Tasha Layton” - performed with power and anointing.
