“Never To Be Separated From His Love”
by Dona Hake
Romans 8:39 ERV
“….nothing in the whole created world—
will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown
us in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
The Apostle Paul wrote some very powerful words didn’t he? Think about it. There is not one thing in the whole created world that can separate us from His perfect love. What a powerful truth to meditate upon! Let us look at what the word separate means, and I think this will bring you an even deeper revelation of this scripture. To be separated is:
Separate: (defined)
to keep apart or divide, as by an intervening barrier or space:
to put, bring, or force apart; part:
to set apart; disconnect; dissociate
Now let us look at how nothing can separate us from Him in light of some of these definitions. No matter what we face or how hard the devil tries to discourage us we can not be kept apart from the presence of our Lord, and His life giving love. There are no barriers strong enough to keep us from Him. There are no forces great enough to overcome the power of His love! We will not be set apart from Him!
May our hearts be dedicated to this inseparable love. Every day we purpose to set time aside to eat, sleep, work and play. Let us be ever so diligent to carve out moments during the day and dedicate them to sit in the presence of the One that promises that He will never leave or forsake us. Talk with Him about how you feel and what you fear. Ask Him about everything that concerns you. He is bound to you by His love! Do not go by feelings and do not go by what you see. He is ALWAYS with you and nothing can separate you from Him. Praise Him because of His inseparable love for you!!
