“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution of famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword?”
In 1991 President George H. W. Bush drew a “line in the sand” and whether we agreed with that or not he made a decision this far but no more. What is the breaking point what things separate us from God, if something happens in my life, say some great tragedy, would that separate me from God? Or maybe it’s that thing we desire so much that it’s the thing I want or God. What thing is it that will cause a rift and God stands His ground but we depart? It doesn’t have to be that we do, even our thoughts can show a separation from God we are tempted to think that God is trying to kill us or waiting in a corner with a baseball bat. What is the line that that will cause us not to love God. No matter how we are tempted to leave God He says that nothing we do will cause Him not to love us and that love is in what Jesus did for us. He crossed the line of our sins, the line of our rejection, the line of our indifference. He says that neither life nor death, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, that love is in Christ Jesus. God Bless you.
