There is No Ladder to Climb

In this world of so many people trying to climb the ladder of success - I am so thankful that Jesus does not expect that of us!

He doesn't care about your status
whether your married or single
 
He doesn't care where your 
rich or poor
 
He doesn't care whether your
highly educated or hardly educated
 
He doesn't care whether you
have a lot of money or a little money
 
He doesn't care whether your are
tall or short
fat or thin
bald or not
black or white

Nope. None of these things(even things I may have forgotten to list) will change God's love for you.
We don't have to work hard to earn the love of our Lord and Savior. There is no ladder to climb in order to be loved more by our God, for He already loved us so very much that He sent His son to die on the cross for us.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
 believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16
 
Now THAT is love!
And the good news is that not only do we have to work towards getting more love from our Savior - there is NOTHING that can separate us from that love!!

 "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35-39
 
Praise God there is no ladder to climb to receive His love.

  1. This is something that I have struggled with in my life - I am so that it is true that we don't have to work for His love.
