​Romans 8:38-39
“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.”

​

When I read these verses, I realize that all my little daily problems are just that, little, very little. As for my larger problems, I take them to Jesus. I pray for His help and for Him to make me strong and determined. Also, for God’s will to be done.

​

The love of God through Jesus is what is important in this life and the next. And more than that is spreading that love around me. It’s my small part in doing God’s work on earth in this troubled, sinful world. The love of God is so difficult to know, to contemplate. But I can know God and His love through Jesus Christ, whom I can talk to, who talks to me through God’s word in the Bible and through meditation. I understand His love, and I can express my love for Him. But nothing surpasses the words I find in the Bible, expressed in the passage above. And in John 16:22, we have a sacred promise.

John 16:22
“So you have pain now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice. And no one will take your joy from you.”

​

Prayer
Thank you, Lord of the universe, Lord of my heart, for your eternal love revealed to us through Jesus. Help us extend this love to everyone we meet. The world needs this love to be a place where we can lead purposeful and joyful lives. Amen.

God’s Love - Nothing Can Separate

 

I’ve seen storms rise, winds howl at my soul

Dark nights where I couldn’t see the road

But then I read those sacred lines

And peace floods in, every single time

 

Nothing can separate, no, nothing at all

Not death, not life, not the rise or the fall

No angel, no demon, no shadow, no flame

Can tear me away from the love in His name

God’s love through Jesus, forever remains

 

I bring my worries, lay them at His feet

He lifts me up when I feel defeat

I don’t need all the answers today

Just the strength to walk His holy way

 

This world may twist, may break and bend

But His love has no start, and it has no end

Through every prayer, I feel Him near

A voice in the Word I was longing to hear

 

Nothing can separate, no, nothing at all

Not depth, nor height, no tower too tall

No power of darkness, no whisper of doubt

Can keep His love from pouring out

God’s love through Jesus, forever devout

 

Nothing can separate, no, nothing at all

Not time, not trial, not the

His promise stands, through joy and pain

And I will see Him once again

God’s love through Jesus, forever sustains

 

Thank You, Lord of the universe, Lord of my heart...

for Your eternal love revealed through Jesus.

Help us carry that love into this world—

in every word, every step, and every act of grace.

Because this world needs more than answers...

it needs Your love, through us.

 

Amen
