NOTHING can separate us from His love.

I wish I had a “whole” blog (ie – a long, thought out philosophical essay) to offer …. but I don’t…I just have a question followed by more questions…followed be a few thoughts...

I can’t get these questions out of my head – why do so many humans try so hard to run from God’s love? Why do we try to find every excuse in the book for why He couldn’t or shouldn’t or doesn’t or won’t love us? Why do we reject the only thing that is perfect and trustworthy and amazing and wonderful and free and OURS? Why is it so hard to accept God’s love for us?

Romans 8:38-39 (msg) I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.



Romans 8:38-39 (niv) For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, 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.

NOTHING can separate us from the love of God. Nothing – not even our own rejection of His love can separate us from His love (now we’re going crazy deep). Nothing. So why do so many have such a hard time believing his love and receiving his love? I just don't understand...
