Sometimes it's not a who or a what...It's me.

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” - Romans 8:35,37

The love of Christ cannot be stopped. It flows freely from the heart of God. The Greek word for separate is Chorizo. It not only means separate but to depart. A lot of times in my life it's not so much the who or what that separates me from the love of God. I simply depart, walk away, ignore that love.

I think, like most people we grow stronger in hardship. As Americans we don't so much get separated from God's love as we, more likely, depart from it. We get fat and happy and no longer feel that need for a savior.

My encouragement today is to remember your position as a Christian. You are a conqueror through the power and sacrifice of Jesus. You have access to the Father and need never to depart or allow this world to separate you from His love.

The old saying goes: At times that I felt that God was not with me, He was not the one that moved.
