God's Loving Reach

"I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers,
neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God,
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. "
Romans 8:38-39

It is impossible to go beyond God's loving reach.

It doesn't matter if you die tonight or live another 100 years.

Nothing will separate you from the love of God.

It doesn't matter if you won the guardian angel lottery

or feel like you are amusement for a host of demons.

Nothing will separate you from the love of God.

That stuff in your past... it doesn't matter. The stuff you're facing now... it doesn't matter.

The stuff you'll face tomorrow... that doesn't matter either.

Nothing will separate you from the love of God.

It doesn't matter how high or how low you go - physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

Travel to the earth's core or travel to the highest heavens.

Settle into a dark depression or settle into a life of joy.

Run from God or run after God- it doesn't matter.

Nothing will separate you from the love of God.

It doesn't matter what else - in all of creation - comes your way. Death... Failure... Loneliness... Ridicule... Hunger... Divorce... Unemployment... Desperation... Abuse... Bankruptcy... Illness... none of it matters. You know why? Because.

Because nothing will separate you from the love of God.

It is impossible to go beyond God's loving reach.
