What's NOT Cancelled

“I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 

I don’t know its origins, but the following is a reminder of what – even in the midst of our health crisis -- we still have to be thankful for…

“So much has been and will continue to be, for some time, cancelled: sports events, concerts, plays, worship services, rallies, travel, meetings, classes, family gatherings, and so much more.

However –

Love has not been cancelled.
Mercy has not been cancelled.
Prayer has not been cancelled.
Attentiveness has not been cancelled.
Goodness has not been cancelled.
Thanksgiving has not been cancelled.
Loving relationships have not been cancelled.
Music has not been cancelled.
Conversations have not been cancelled.
Learning has not been cancelled.
Courage has not been cancelled.
Families have not been cancelled.
Faith has not been cancelled.
Hope has not been cancelled.

And … God’s presence with us, has not been cancelled.”

I pray that you will take comfort in the fact that no matter where you are, with whom you are, or what is happening to others all around you, we can trust and depend on God’s presence and the presence of His gifts above to get us through whatever challenges we are facing!

Always remember that God loves you and I do, too!
