Nothing!

Today is Nothing Day. Ostensibly, it is a day to sit around celebrating nothing at all. So, in honor of this, today I choose to celebrate every single thing that limits God. Which is, of course, Nothing At All.

The word "nothing" is used more than 320 times in Scripture. Sometimes, it's used for mundane purposes. Very often, it is used to compare the trappings of this world with the Glory of God (they are as Nothing). And sometimes, it is used as a comprehensive list of all the things of which God is incapable (Luke 1:37 KJV).

We have a God so great, nothing will be impossible even for us, as tiny as we are, if He is our strength. 

And because Nothing can limit God, Nothing can limit His love for us. And because nothing can limit His love for us, nothing can separate Him from His children. Only we, in our sinfulness, can remain apart from Him. But, when we turn to God, Psalm 103:12 tells us, "as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."

He doesn't merely bury our sin, or sweep it under the rug. He lifts that burden off us as though it were nothing and throws it away; so far away it can never be found. 

There is nothing you can do to make it impossible for God to love you. No sin is so heavy He can't remove it. You and I are weak, He is strong, and in Him, all things are possible!
