Romans is a letter a man named Paul wrote to help God's family love God and love each other.
Today's Story
This part of Paul's letter is one of the most wonderful parts in the whole Bible. It is full of good news, like a basket full of presents.
Paul says that God's own Spirit lives inside everyone who belongs to Jesus. And the Spirit helps us call God something amazing: “Father.” That means we are God's very own children. We belong in His family forever.
Then Paul asks the biggest question of all. Is there anything — anything at all — that could ever pull us away from God's love?
And he answers with a great big shout of joy. “I am absolutely sure,” he says. Not scary days. Not sad days. Not the highest sky or the deepest sea. Not even one single thing in all the world can ever, ever separate us from God's love. His love holds on and never lets go.
So when you feel small, or scared, or all alone, remember this: God is holding you. And His grip never slips. Nothing can take you out of His hands.
