Love That Holds Fast
3 min read · Love
Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from God's love, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Paul names the widest forces he can imagine and finds none of them strong enough to sever God's love in Christ. That assurance does not deny pain or distance. It gives them a boundary: they are real, but they are not ultimate. When you feel isolated, let this promise speak more loudly than the feeling. You remain held.
Today’s prayer
God, anchor me in your steadfast love. When I feel distant or afraid, help me remember that nothing can carry me beyond your care. Amen.
