Nothing Can Separate

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:35, 37-39)


Absolutely nothing can come between Christ and us. His love reaches past all boundaries and extends to the lowest depths of man's disgusting existence. No man can destroy God's unchanging love. Death itself has no power over Christ's love.


"Your Love" by Brandon Heath


I felt it first when I was younger
A strange connection to the light
I tried to satisfy the hunger
I never got it right
I never got it right

So I climbed a mountain and built an altar
Looked out as far as I could see
And everyday I’m getting older
I’m running outta dreams
I’m running outta dreams

But Your love
Your love
The only the thing that matters is Your love
Your love is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It’s Your love
Your love
all I ever needed is Your love

You know the effort I have given
And you know exactly what it cost
And though my innocence was taken
Not everything is lost
Not everything is lost nooooo

But Your love
Your love
The only the thing that matters is Your love
Your love is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It’s Your love
Your love
all I ever needed is Your love

You’re the hope in the morning
You’re the light when the night is falling
You’re the song when my heart is singing
it’s Your love
You’re the eyes to the blind man
You’re the feet to the lame man walking
You’re the sound of the people singing
It’s Your love

But Your love
Your love
The only the thing that matters is Your love
Your love is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It’s Your love
Your love
all I ever needed is Your love

Christ's love gives us supernatural strength and helps us to conquer whatever we face. Through His unbelievable love for us, he died on the cross to give us the chance to have eternal life forever. His love is all we really need and what we should focus on when people fail to love us properly.


However, it would be selfish of us to just keep this love for ourselves. Spread the love of Jesus around! If you love those around you, you'll have a desire to tell them about Jesus and the impact He has had on your life. Jesus changes us and His love will keep us growing to become more and more like Him.
