Separate
38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither 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 8:38-39
There is a rule that is commonly known in the world of laundry that you don't combine dark colors and light colors when washing your clothes. You definitely don't wash a red shirt with a white dress shirt or you will turn that white shirt into a lovely shade of pink. To prevent this from happening, you separate your clothes and keep them in the Right pile when washing. When you are done washing those clothes, then you have your lights and darks that are put in their appropriate place. You are probably wondering to yourself, where are you headed with this analogy. Well, if you take a moment, death is dark, life is light. Angels can also be seen as light, and demons are dark. If you are living in Christ, you are living in the light. Christ is the light of the world and we live in Him. This doesn't mean that as Christians living in the light, that we separate ourselves from that light and live in the dark. However as Christians, we can sometimes be stained with sin, but with Christ we know we are forgiven. Although I might be wearing a pink shirt because I have slipped and sinned, I know that there is absolutely nothing that can separate me from the love of our God which to me is a good feeling. Focus on living in the light, and not treading close to the dark colors.
Have a great weekend.
