Sometimes you have to separate yourself from the crowd.


By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You. Psalm 71:6


Romans 8 38 For I am persuaded , that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present , nor things to come , 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord


Be strong in your heavenly Father’s love for you and possess your possessions—good health, provision, wisdom, favor, protection, restored relationships . . . every blessing already paid for by our Lord Jesus at the cross!


1If I speak in the tonguesa of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,b but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails


Deuteronomy 11 18Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 20Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, 21so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.


Let me encourage you to keep on hoping despite the odds because like Abraham and Sarah, you have a God of impossibilities who loves you, who cannot fail. It doesn’t matter what the reports say, or what the statistics show. When you have Bible hope that is firmly anchored to God’s love, it is only a matter of time before your miracle manifests.


But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.
