God’s Presence

Nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. . . . No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

ROMANS 8:38-39

Have you ever felt desperately alone and rejected? Perhaps a best friend deserted you or the marriage you hoped for never materialized or the person you married wants out. Maybe your child has turned against you or your parents and friends don’t seem to care about your needs. God says, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you” (Isaiah 43:5). He promises to love you and stay with you no matter what. When you’re hurting, let the peace of God’s presence bring assurance that he will never separate himself from you.
