Separation
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 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 8:38-39
Separation is not just a description of two things being
apart, there are really some emotions that go along with separation.
How many of us as children became separated from our parents in a store,
park, or some other location when we were young? How many of us as
adults have been separated from our children or spouse for a period of
time. There is a deep emotion that I am sure all of us felt in these
circumstances. A loneliness, a sadness, maybe fear and even desperation
might have set in during this experience for all involved. Now, think
of the time when you were reunited with that individual. I bet the
emotions you felt changed to relief, exuberance, joy, and a deep-felt
happiness that you were reunited. The enemy today wants you to
experience a deep pain when you perceive you might have separation from
the Lord, but you can't ever be separated from God's love. When you
might think God is not there during your biggest time of grief and
struggle, you have to look at what scripture says regarding God's love.
Nothing can create that separation, not even the enemy. We need to
remember that while we might feel separated because of our sin, we are
not separated from His love. He is always connected to us through Christ
if we can accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
Have a great weekend.
