Inseparable Love

Inseparable Love
Are you currently struggling with sorrow, hardship, or loss? If so, the words in this passage can offer you encouragement and hope! They can help keep you steady in life's challenges, reassure you when you feel weary, and comfort you when you are suffering. Saint Paul understood that we would all sometimes feel as though God had abandoned us during our most challenging times. He reminds us numerous times in scripture and clearly states in these verses that nothing or no one can ever separate us from the love of God. 
Friends, scripture makes it clear that we will all experience difficulties, sorrows, and losses, but that doesn’t mean God has abandoned us or no longer loves us. So, how can we be confident in God's inseparable love when we are tempted to doubt? Saint Paul's words in these verses provide the answer: God's enduring love for us is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord! God demonstrated His unconditional love by sending Jesus to die for us while we were still sinners. We must look to the cross when we doubt God's love for us. There, we see His love poured out for us! His love encourages and empowers us to live boldly for the sake of His Kingdom. We must never forget God’s promises: His love endures forever, and His mercies are renewed each morning.
Onward and Upward+
