God's Love For Us



Last night there was a reunion for the bible study that my older siblings held in their house. This bible study that they used to have had even changed some lives. It even changed mine because after they stopped having bible studies, since my older brother graduated high school and most of the people going there had too, I realized that if they could have made such a big impact within the lives of their high school friends, then why can't I help to change the lives of all of the surfers. So that helped me to start Groms For God. It also helped kids who didn't even know God or anything about his love for us. They would start out just by coming to the bible study because they could get free food, but as they came more and more, and started to find their way to God, they started to understand God and his endless, unbreakable love for us. It was amazing to me last night, to listen to everyone's stories about how it changed their lives and how they wouldn't be where they are right now if it wasn't for that bible study and how that helped them find God. Then, later that night, when Danny read God's word to us, he read Romans 8:38-39 and it really showed me how there is nothing in all creation and nothing that anyone can either do or say that could ever separate us from God's love. The verse is a hope to everyone that whatever happens to them, whatever takes them in the wrong direction or convinces them to believe in something else that is not as loving or amazing as our God, he will always love us and nothing can ever cause something different. I am so happy that I was able to be a part of that last night and even throughout my childhood. I know that even though I didn't completely understand what all of it meant then, it helped lead me on to the right and amazing path.
