38For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

John, to my dear friends in Christ; in Romans 8:38-39 we have another promise from God. Last week we found out that if we belong to God nothing could snatch us out of His hand. Today we learn that no matter the circumstances or obstacles in our lives, nothing can separate us from the love of God. Think about this for a moment, God is saying there is NOTHING that can separate us from His love. Friends in trials, tribulations, temptations, etc. we can remember that God still loves us and His love for us never changes. Remember God's love transcends feelings, just because you don't feel His love doesn't mean He loves you less, in fact, He loves you the same all the time. Have confidence that no matter what is happening in your life God still loves YOU. Has something in your life caused you to turn your face from God, turn back and gaze into those perfect eyes. Knowing God loves us no matter the circumstances will strengthen our desire to grow closer to Him. The closer we are to God the more we realize He loves us.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for my friends as they go about their lives they realize the depth of Your love and their desire is to grow closer to you. As circumstances occur in their lives may they remember the love You have for them and through the circumstance may they desire to grow closer to You than ever before, in Jesus name I Pray, Amen.

God's Many Blessings to You,

john
