Today's Word
Romans 8:38-39
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, 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.”
Reflection
Paul lists a long catalog of things that cannot separate: death and life, angels and powers, present and future, height and depth. He names every conceivable boundary to declare that nothing can cut off the love.
The way he proves the strength of the love is striking. He shows not how hot the love is, but what cannot sever it however hard it tries. Its unseverability is the very depth of the love.
There are days you fear your failure or circumstances might cut off that love. Nowhere in this list is "my weakness" written as something able to sever it. The love is anchored deeper than your condition.
