“Fear has a way of making Christ look smaller than He is.

I know that feeling. I know because fear has narrowed my own vision. It can turn a stack of unknowns or one late-night thought into the largest thing in the room. Christ has not changed. My sight has.

Then Scripture lifts my eyes: “And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17).

All things.

The breath in my lungs or the burden on my shoulders or the sorrow I cannot lift. The tomorrow with its locked doors and unanswered questions. Christ holds what my hands cannot.

So I do not need a smaller problem this morning. I need a larger sight of Jesus.

The cross tells me He loved me with blood. The empty tomb tells me He reigns with scars. Today, He will hold me together.”

Romans 12:15

Romans 8:31-39 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”[Psalm 44:22] ) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
