The Inseparable Love of God   Scripture Reading – Romans 8:38 - 39 (NLT)

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today, nor our worries about tomorrow – not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below – indeed nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus.”  

I do love what today’s text is teaching, reminding and reassuring us about concerning, ‘The Inseparable Love of God’. My sister and brother there is absolutely NOTHING that can ever separate us from His great love!!!

No matter if we are living or if we die, we will still know His love, in fact those of us who believe in Jesus will never ever die. Of course no angel and no demon of hell can take God’s love away from us. Those things that cause us to fear and worry about our future will never be able to make God’s love any less towards us.

There is no power in hell my friends that can come between the great love of your Father in heaven and your soul. In fact if you look up into the sky, or were able to gaze into the deepest depths, or if we had the capacity in our small human understanding to grasp all of God’s creation, we would see that there is not one thing, anywhere, at any time, any place that can take us out of the loving and caring hand of our gracious and all powerful God!

What does this mean to you and I? EVERYTHING!!! We can walk in the confidence and grace of God that He is Sovereign and in control of our lives, even when we find ourselves in the midst of the storms of life or in the desert place. For our father will never dessert us, never leave us, never forsake us. Even if we are faithless our God will remain faithful because of His great and abiding love!  

Prayer Heavenly Father I am reminded, reassured and remain confident in my faith that there is nothing that will ever separate me from Your great love. Forgive me for those times or seasons when I have thought otherwise, and use me to encourage others of this truth I pray through Christ Jesus my Lord.  

Memory Verse:  Romans 8:37 NLT “No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.”
