Nothing can separate us from the love of God
in Christ Jesus the Beloved.

—Romans 8.39

You can't separate the music from the song.
You can't have earth without its gravity.
There is no electricity without positive and negative,
giver and receiver.

Van Gogh's painting is about sunflowers
and also about how van Gogh sees sunflowers
and also a painting of van Gogh.
Rough sketch or finished painting, it's pure van Gogh.

You are part of God's love as much as God is.
Nothing beyond or within you,
no death or suffering or sin
or even your distrust of this can change that.

Root in this. Let it be your song.
Your gravity.
What you receive and give.
Pure van God.
