God’s Unconditional Love


I was reading my devotional this morning that Rick Renner wrote and the topic today was about God’s love and how we can never be separated from His love.
He used these verses in Romans 8:38-39, “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Pastor Rick knows far more than I know about the Word and this being a topic we all need to know more about, I thought it would be an encouraging word for today.  Pastor Rick knows the Greek language very well and I don’t, so I want to give the summary of what he wrote about these verses here:
In light of the meanings of these Greek words in Romans 8:38 and Romans 8:39, an interpretive translation of this verse could read:

I have been persuaded, and I remain convinced, that neither death, nor the complications that often arise in life, nor powerful angelic beings, nor even an entire group of high-ranking demonic spirits, nor anything that currently exists, nor anything that could potentially happen in the future, nor any political power, nor anything in the highest heavens, nor anything that resides in the deepest depths, nor anything that has ever been created is capable of disconnecting us from the love of God or of putting any distance between us and the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Never forget this message Paul proclaimed.  Nothing in this world has enough power to disconnect you from the love of God.  No angel, no demon, no government, no creature and no mistake of your own making will ever be capable of cutting you off from the love of God.  God's love is greater than man will ever be able to comprehend.  It reaches to the highest mountain, and it penetrates to the lowest parts of the earth.  Regardless of what you are facing in your life today, God’s love is with you and nothing will ever be able to disconnect you from this awesome, powerful, all-consuming love!

Many believers in their current situations or circumstances may wonder if God still loves them, but according to Pastor Rick, God will always love us and nothing can ever separate us from God’s love no matter how we feel.  I needed this reminder today and I thank the Lord for Pastor Rick’s devotion and dedication to the Lord and His Word as well as his church and his family!!  I pray that the good Lord will bless Pastor Rick and his family and all who are in his ministry and his church and if the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God will raise a standard against him and that no weapon formed against them shall prosper!!  May the good Lord bless you Pastor Rick and all that belongs to you with His peace, love, joy, health and happiness and thanks so much for your devotional!!

I hope this is an encouragement to all who read it and may the good Lord bless you and yours and may you have a super day!!  Don’t forget to thank and praise the Lord!!
