Love is a huge topic! It is hard to tackle in our short daily time together, even when we talk about it all month long. Love is more than the ooey, gooey, warm and cozy, syrupy sweet , whipped cream topped concoction that we read about in some magazine. God’s love is sincere and deep, and it comes from the heart. One of the most wonderful things about love is that it gives us the power to say we’re sorry when we are wrong, and gives us the ability to forgive those who have wronged us. Walking in forgiveness and saying we’re sorry isn’t easy when we are operating in the flesh. (Just look at how often celebrities walk out on each other in a short matter of time.) But if we follow the way of love, and walk in the Spirit, we won’t fulfill our fleshly desires, and we will do what is right. We can make lasting, sincere, deep commitments that will stand the test of time. We can say we are sorry, and we can learn to forgive. And we can do that, because we have known the love and forgiveness of Christ. Just as nothing can separate us from the love of God, don’t let circumstances or relationship difficulties keep you from loving others. Nothing separates us from God’s love. It says in Romans 8:38 & 39
I am persuaded that neither death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, or things present or things to come, nor height, nor depth, or any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
There is nothing more comforting and reassuring than knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are fully covered by the love of God. Let love cover your relationships, and resolve to have God’s kind of love operating in your life. Don’t let separation be a part of your vocabulary! Just think about it, nothing can separate us from God’s love.
