Lenten Reflection - March 19, 2010

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced 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 8:37-39


As I began to read this passage by Paul to the Romans, I realized how this passage relates to me, and not just me, but everyone—”..nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Those few words mean so much. In everything we all do, from day to day, we need to remember how our Lord is there to lead us in the correct direction. Many people might say how they need something or want something, but in reality, they don’t need anything but the love from their God. He will always be there for you. Separating us from God’s love is impossible, for He will always love everyone of us equally. The poor, the wealthy, the things we have, the things we may not have, how high in power we are, whether we are living or deceased—does not mean anything in the eyes of our Lord. Keep in mind that we all are God’s children, and no matter what, the love he has for us will always be there.
