The Height of God's Love for You


By Rick Warren

"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" (Romans 8:38-39 NIV).
"If you want an antidote for loneliness, here it is: You will never be separated from God's love. The fact is we do lose loved ones."

There is no place that you can go where God's love isn't. You'll never be separated from God's love.

Nothing—no circumstance, no situation—can separate you because God's love is everywhere: ". . . 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 . . ." (Romans 8:39 NIV).

If you want an antidote for loneliness, here it is: You will never be separated from God's love. The fact is we do lose loved ones. If you're married, one of you is going to die first.  And you will grieve over that.

But if you're a Christian, you'll never be lonely because you can tune into God's love. I'm not talking about religion; I'm talking about a relationship with Jesus Christ. His love lasts forever and his love is everywhere.

"Where could I go to escape from you? Where could I get away from your presence? If I went up to heaven, you would be there; if I lay down in the world of the dead, you would be there. If I flew away beyond the east or lived in the farthest place in the west, you would be there to lead me, you would be there to help me. I could ask the darkness to hide me or the light around me to turn into night, but even darkness is not dark for you, and the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you" (Psalm 139:7-12 TEV).
