For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39) 

How do we become persuaded or convinced that nothing can separate us from the love of God?  

 

We won’t mature in our faith, or know anyone deeply and intimately unless we spend time with them.

 

If our focus is church fellowship, but we neglect to get alone with God, we will not be persuaded. 

 

If our focus is serving others, but we neglect to get alone with God, we will not be persuaded.

 

If we do not spend time alone with God we will never have more than superficial knowledge of who He is.

 

The second way to truly be persuaded and convinced of His love is to stop measuring the love of God through our circumstances.

 

God‘s presence is for all the seasons and cannot be taken from us.

 

We live in a fallen world. We will experience heartache and brokenness.

 

But, God’s love is there to redeem us, to give us victory over our circumstances, and bring hope to the desolate places in our life. 

 

 

Let me seek Him through alone time with my Heavenly Father that I may truly experience the depth of His love.

 

That we henceforth be no more like children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, or by the sleight of [crafty] men.   (Ephesians 4:14) 

 

I pray you are just as blessed by this devotion as I was. I hope you take away two very import truths from today’s devotion, stop measuring the love of God through your circumstances and let us not be tossed around by the highs and lows of our relationships or circumstances. God’s love cant be explained, only experienced.

 

Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
