What can separate us from God's love? Romans 8: 35-39

{35} Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? {36} As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered." {37} No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. {38} For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, {39} 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.

The love, care, and concern of Father God through Jesus Christ can't be overcome by any obstacle. What can separate us from the love of God? Hardship (having difficulties), distress (physical or mental illness, or bad attitudes), persecution (others giving you problems), famine (not enough to eat), nakedness (shame), peril (general danger), sword (violence), life or death, demons, governments, any present situation, the future, the stars in the sky, the oceans, or anything in the world? Nothing has the power to separate us from God's love, not even self-hatred or suicide. His finger always points to love, and if you love him and are called according to his purpose, then all things will work together to your glorification and recreation in his image.

The Father's family-style love is a perfect love. It is the love that dwells and courses through us. It is the force that is sensitive to our needs, and makes us sensitive to the needs of others in need. "It is a motivating power that enables us to give strength and peace. It is 'you' love before 'me' love. With a child, it says, 'I love you as you grow older; I will constantly be loosening the apron strings so that you can develop into your own person.' With a parent it says, 'I love you and will try to act in a way to make you proud of me.' With a spouse it says, 'I love you and I want you to be happy and achieve the fullest stature of your being.'

"Love is not primarily a result of [God's feelings] toward you, but a cause. It causes people to grow in happiness and produces fulfilled and whole people." It overcomes incredible barriers. It loves in spite of our capacity to love. And it seems that, if we will open ourselves to it, God's love gets greater the more we need it.

[The Father's] love is flowing through us [now] if we love him and are fulfilling his purpose for our lives. And that's the secret to receiving and enjoying perfect love -- developing a personal relationship with our Lord and Brother Jesus Christ, in whom "the fullness of God lives." And who can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ? Friends, absolutely nothing and nobody. Amen.
