“For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”

A wife borrowed her husband’s brand new car, and then she had a wreck. She wasn’t hurt, but the car was totaled. She felt awful. She reached into the glove compartment where they kept the insurance papers and got them out.
When she opened the papers, there was a note right in the middle written by her husband. I think it's one of the sweetest things I've ever heard. He had written, “Remember, sweetheart, it's you I love.”
Isn't that great? He was saying, “This car is not important. Honey, you're the important one.” God has the same love for you and me. Whatever mess you may have made, God says, “It’s you I love.
Remember that: It’s you God loves. I want to tell you, you may have wrecked your life, but God loves you. Whatever mistakes you may make today, you must believe that.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
