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

Walls provide shelter and define a place of purpose. They allow us to feel protected, but cradle us in cocoons which  hold us in one place. Sometimes, we become too comfortable inside the walls we build. We design rooms for ourselves and hide behind the doubt. We become afraid to let others see the heart of what’s inside, or allow ourselves to discover abundant JOY. 

God sees beyond the walls we build. He knows the heart of those who need to see what waits on the other side. He opens the eyes of our hearts when the timing is right. And, when we’re ready to receive, He tears down the walls which separate us from His love. 

God shows us we are worthy of His grace. He reminds us we can do great things. He removes the doubt and readies us to welcome the love of Jesus. And, when we surrender to Him, our attitudes change. We become renewed! He helps us discover how much we are loved. He shows us why reward will come, when we step in faith and TRUST. 

God will show us why there must be MORE of Him and less of us. Nothing will separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus! But, we must believe in His power to save, trust in Him and allow ourselves to welcome the JOY of His peace. 
He will provide the strength we need and demonstrate amazing things we have never seen. We must be courageous and tear down the walls of worry. God WILL bless us when we make room for Him in our hearts. He will fill us full of His amazing LOVE. 

Dear God, Thank you for strength which comes from you. Help us tear down the walls which hold us back us from experiencing ALL that YOU have planned for our days. Lead us to the place where abundant JOY will have room to overflow…And, remind us how to TRUST in You. Amen
