lRomans 8:35-38
[35] Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? [36] (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) [37] No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. [38] And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
Love.
Today is my first child’s birthday. My son is 14.
I am blessed and loved, and because of this, I can love as deeply as I do. Even still, my love will never be as deep as the Lord’s. The truth is, nothing can separate us from God’s love, and it is only because we receive that love from Him that we are able to share it with others.
Today, I pray you take the time to show your love to your family and friends.
As I teach my kids, love is an action. Just speaking this word is meaningless. We need to love in such a way that people feel it. Love in such a way that they can see it.
Show them they are loved.
Jesus showed us love by willingly walking that road to His death. In those final moments, He was thinking about you. That is the depth of His love. Nothing can separate us from God’s love, and the cross stands as the greatest reminder of that truth.
Because of that love, we are called to live differently. We are called to love others in a way that reflects Him—through our actions, our words, and the way we treat those closest to us.
Thank you, Father, for one more day. Amen.
