Romans 8:38-39  “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 Jesus our Lord.

The Big Picture

Many of us have traveled to remote locations and discovered our cell phones could not pick up a signal. This can be frustrating if we long to connect with family and friends. After several days of not being able to call home, we might feel lonely and forgotten.

In a letter to the new Christians in Rome, Paul stated that nothing could separate them from the love of Christ. From the time Paul encountered Christ on the road to Damascus, he was changed by the far reaching love of God. The Holy Spirit always comforted and encouraged Paul through every circumstance, including the isolation of prison. Paul’s words ring just as true today as they did centuries ago. Although we might feel alone, we are never separated from the love of Christ. His Spirit dwells within us and His love will not fail.
