PROMISE #360 - DECEMBER 26
Promise #360:
Nothing in all creation will ever separate you from My love.
Romans 8:35-39 (WEB)
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” 37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 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.
Paul, the Apostle, said he was convinced that nothing could separate him from God's love. Then he went on to list many things that could try to separate him: death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things in the present, things in the future, etc. But something happened in Paul's life that convinced him that no matter what happened, nothing would ever keep the love of God away.
This is a man who was shipwrecked, stoned, persecuted at every turn, and eventually martyred. If Paul needed to be convinced of the closeness of God's love, I think we are, too. The Bible says that God's tender mercies are new every morning, so every morning is a new opportunity for us to be persuaded that we are loved beyond measure.
No matter what trials you are facing, nothing can ever separate you from God's love. Life can't separate you. Death can't. Angels or demons can't. Nothing in the present or the future will ever separate you. No height, depth, or any other creature will keep the love of God from overflowing and surrounding you... right now!
I pray that we will be more convinced of our Father's love today than yesterday!
