Beloved

Now, I'm not trying to add to or subtract from the Scriptures here, but I fully believe that the Bible is a complete story. And when reading one part, it is a good idea to keep in mind things you've gleaned from the other parts. And as I was reading in Psalm 139:1-4 this morning, I kept hearing the truth from the words in Jeremiah 31:3 "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness."

"O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. (And You love me with an everlasting love)
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. (And yet you draw me to You with loving-kindness
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. (And despite my brokenness, You still love me with an everlasting love)
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord." (And even after knowing my every thought, you still draw me to You with loving kindness.)

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 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 8:38-39)

And I'd like to add, Neither my perception of myself, nor the sorrow of trials, neither the deception of circumstance, nor the lies of the enemy, neither the imperfect love of parents nor opinion of others will be able to separate me, us, from the love that is in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
