Reference verses: Isaiah 53 verse 5, John 20 verse 17, Galatians 4 verse 7, Ephesians 2 verse 6 and Romans 8 verse 17…some articles in some verses were changed for a personal reading yet, the intent remains the same.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8 verses 38 and 39.
He loves us and cannot deny himself. He would do everything for his loved ones. Love, how can we count the ways of this emotion? His love is like no other. What can separate us from his love? Neither height nor depth nor death, Can separate us from the love of Christ. He longs for us to be together. To be in his presence for eternity. Where he is, we shall one day be there too.
This my my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
It Pleased the Father
Every step he took here on earth brought glory to his Father; His work, His ways every word that came from his mouth were perfect and without sin. It pleased God to open up the heavens and acknowledge him as his only begotten son.
the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him; and lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matt 3 versed 16 and 17
