Fighting Words Friday: Nothing Will Separate

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 

-Romans 8:38

There is NOTHING  that can separate us from the love of God. No mistake. No pain. No doubt. No mess. No tragedy. Even death itself is undone with the love of God. Wherever you are, you can know today that God’s love will meet you there. This brings such comfort to me… just to know that no matter what we have faced, and no matter what we will face, God’s love will be with us. His love is bigger than our darkest nights and our deepest losses, and the cross reminds us that He has entered into every broken place in our stories AND walked through them. The empty grave reminds us that not even death can remove His love from us, so Lord help me rest today in the ever-present LOVE that you offer each of us. Thank you that we will never walk alone because nothing can separate us from Your love.
