The tweet is a rhema word from God for me, and perhaps also for you. 🙏
Whatever is causing you stress, remember that God is bigger than your problems and He is more than able to help you.
He is a good, generous, and gracious God. He is love.
“What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from God’s love, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:31-39 WEB)
Don’t measure God’s love based on your circumstances.
His love is demonstrated at the cross, when He delivered up His beloved Son to suffer and die, so that our sins would be fully atoned for by the shedding of Jesus’ sinless divine blood.
God is not condemning or punishing you. He is the one who justified you, intercedes for you, and freely gives you all things.
“But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.” (Romans 4:5 WEB)
If Abba God placed our sins upon Jesus before we even repented or truly cared about Him, then we can be confident that nothing can separate us from His love, especially now that we have been justified through faith.
“Yahweh appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.” (Jeremiah 31:3 WEB)
No created thing—including yourself, can stop God from loving you with an everlasting love!

Live by this FOMO
Aren’t you tired of always caring what ‘they’ will think? Why must you do what you see others doing?
Living by FOMO will always end in regret.
FOMO can be “fear of missing out”, but it could also be “fear of majority’s opinions”.
Either way, the word “fear” is still there. Are you going to keep being controlled by the fear of man’s opinions?
“The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe.” (Proverbs 29:25 WEB)
It is better to be full of God’s love. His love in your heart will cast out all fear. When you are conscious of His love, it is easy to trust Him and be led by the Spirit.
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from God’s love, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35-39 WEB)
The passage above contains some of the most beautiful sentences ever written.
You don’t need people to shower you with their untrustworthy, empty, and fluctuating love.
The only love you need is the love of Christ (God’s love) to be your stabilizing anchor in life.
When faced with even tremendous pressure, take a moment to re-enter peace, pray, and seek God’s counsel and wisdom before making any decisions. Trust Him—not others, and not even your own mind. God’s opinion is the most valuable.
The FOMO I choose is “faith over man’s opinion”!

The Plot to Make you Feel Separated from God’s Love
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from God’s love, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35-39 WEB)
The apostle Paul taught us a powerful truth. When bad things happen to you, it doesn’t mean that God doesn’t love you anymore.
The devil uses this lie. When you are going through difficulties, he tries to trick you into believing that God is angry with you and is punishing you.
When you feel separated from God’s love, you can’t have faith because your heart will be full of fear and doubt.
After all, if God is against you, then who can successful overturn His decision and power?
If you’re being attacked, sick, or broke, it doesn’t mean that God doesn’t love you. His love is independent of what happens to you.
God’s love is not a rollercoaster ride where it’s sometimes up and sometimes down. His love is a stable rock—an unshakable foundation you can plant both feet firmly upon.
As you’re a member of the body of Christ, God the Father loves you just as much as He loves Jesus.
He is not angry with you at all because His wrath against your sins was already fully appeased at the cross when Jesus was punished on your behalf.
Some people don’t think that love is powerful. They see it as weakness. But believing that nothing can ever separate you from God’s love is the key to accessing faith in every situation.
Even after a grievous failure, you are not separated from His love. His favor still flows abundantly in your life. Don’t cut yourself off from that supply through self-condemnation and doubt. You can still receive grace in your time of need!
