But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (NRSV)
But God…. I love those two words. They whisper hope. They breathe expectation. They hint of transformation. They proclaim God’s sovereignty and His dominion over all of creation.
But God… Two words so foundational to our faith. We were lost but God found us. We are sinful but God offers pardon through Jesus. We merit nothing but God pours out grace upon grace. We don’t deserve His love but God offers Himself, completely, sacrificially.
But God…. Two pivotal words that change everything. They bring light into our darkest nights. They offer hope to those who grieve. They provide strength to the suffering who aren’t guaranteed another tomorrow. They remind us God can redeem our failures. They transform the impossible into the possible.
But God… Two little words that contain such powerful promise. There is no place we go where He hasn’t preceded us. There is no problem too immense He can’t resolve it. There is no future He has not foreseen. There is no loss He will not redeem. Even death cannot separate us from God’s love.
But God… He is our strength. He is our refuge. He is ours forever.
Thought: “But God… He always has the last word.”
