Who shall SEPARATE US from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (Romans 8:35) When I read this passage, God’s love WASHES OVER ME because God’s love is CONSTANTLY AVAILABLE and without fail, but when I find myself separating myself from God’s love or getting caught up in the trivial and genuine concerns of day to day life, I return to this passage. What will separate me from “the love of God in Christ Jesus my Lord” ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Not only is this one of my favorite passage, but that sense of GOD’S ETERNAL LOVE IS MY TRUE COMFORT. Free to all in spite of persecution, famine, anguish, death, life, powers and principalities. You know how the song goes…
♫Love, huh, yeah
What can separate us from it
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Love, huh, yeah
What can separate us from it
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING♫
Opps, it’s late for me and I got a little off track.
Amanda, the very words God spoke to me were “Bill, I love you…” it was not just words because it penetrated me and flooded me with godly sorrow, causing me to fall to the floor crying out “I’m sorry…” That’s when God saved me!!!!
“…now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE.” (1 Corinthians 13:13) and, “There is NO FEAR IN LOVE. But perfect love DRIVES OUT FEAR, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because GOD FIRST LOVED ME (in my mother’s womb).” (1 John 4:18-19) “…you created my inmost being; you knit me together in MY MOTHER’S WOMB. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; YOUR WORKS ARE WONDERFUL, I know that full well.“ (Psalms 139:13-14)
