"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 Jeuss our Lord." (Rom. 8:38-39)
How reassuring it is to know that there is nothing in the entire order of creation that can separate us from God's love. God loves us with such an amazing love that is totally based on who God is and His capacity to love and which has absolutely nothing to do with how loveable we are. We cannot earn God's love, and we certainly do not deserve God's love.
Yet God loves us with a never failing, never changing, absolutely dependable love. There is nothing we can do to make God love us any more than He already does. And there is absolutely nothing that we can do to make God love us any less. He loves us because it is His essence to love, it is His nature to love us.
In a world of constant turmoil and transition, it is reassuring to begin this new week and each new day with the absolute assurance that God's love is constant and reliable. When everyone else lets you down, and when no one else seems to care, remember, God loves you with perfect love. Nothing can change that.
