Permanent Marker

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. Romans 8:39 NIV

You can add political parties and eclipses to the list in this verse. When we stand before God he will not be concerned with our political affiliation, if we stared at the eclipse too long, how popular we were, how much money we had, or even had much debt we got ourselves into. He won't ask us what we ate or how much we exercised. He won't even care to scroll through our social media to see how many times we shared posts about him, you know the ones...share this if you love Jesus.

No. He will ask but one question: did you ask Jesus into your heart and confess your sins before me? That's it. He'll look for your name but he ready knows that you are his. Nothing here will ever erase our name from that book. It's written in permanent marker like the ones your kids get hold of and draw on the walls. We may wander far and away, but he will always be there to welcome us back. He will not forget that we invited him into our hearts. He will not forget that we are his.

Nothing, ever, no-how. Nada. Such. Zero. God's love is permanent. Amen.
