This story is in the book of Job, but I’m not going to focus on Job; I’m focused on who was in the room.
“Then the day came for the angels to meet with the Lord. Even Satan was there with them.”
Job 1:6 ERV

This verse made me think of another verse. When I got to the second line of this verse, my mind wanted to know why Satan was in the room. If I understand the word correctly, Satan and all the people who believed in him were kicked out of heaven. If I understand correctly, this means he should not have had access to God and the other angels anymore. I said if I understand correctly, but the Holy Spirit reminded me of another verse.
“Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39 ERV

Because Satan originally belonged to God, our God still hears him. I shouted …. I mean, can you understand the implications of this? Can you imagine how many times we believe our sin will keep God from hearing our prayers, how many times we believed that God would not be there? This scripture reminds us that NOTHING can separate us from God’s love. Look at what Satan has done, he set himself up as a god but still has access because, in my sanctified mind, our God is waiting for him to come back to the fold. Our God can’t lie, so when he said nothing can separate us, he meant that.
So I tell you this, don’t let guilt, shame, and despair keep you from coming into the room. When God calls for his people, that includes you. You were created in His image and His likeness. He knew before the creation of the world that you would not be perfect. He knew you would fall short, and He made concessions for you. Never feel as if you can’t come to God. I don’t care what you did or what was done to you—you belong to Him.
“All have sinned and are not good enough to share God’s divine greatness. They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.”
Romans 3:23-24 ERV

I love you, on purpose. Come on in the room!
