Apologies for not posting yesterday. I was hosting people. I was at church today and prompted the following passage in my mind:
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor 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, New American Standard Version [NASB])
Unfortunately, it took me a while to find since I was looking in the wrong book of the Bible! I know the scripture off by heart, but I clearly need to learn where it is in the Bible still!
What can separate me from the love of Christ? Nothing. Not angels. Not demons. Not powers. Not death. Not life. Not the present. Not principalities. Not depth. Not anything in all of creation. Not anything to come. Nothing. Zip. Nothing can separate me from the love of Christ. It is a constant in my being. The love of Christ dwells in my being amidst everything that tries – and fails – to prise me from it.
Forgive me while I try to comprehend that. I just can’t. Try as I may, I just can’t comprehend that at all. Nothing can separate me from the love of Christ. Do I live out my life like that? Rarely. Does it exude from my being? Not nearly as much as it should. It should fill my being constantly.
Lord, help me to comprehend the love of Christ and help me to model it in my life.
