Love That Never Fails

   Even the heavens and the earth will pass away, but God’s love will never end. Do you sometimes miss friends lost through misunderstandings, death, or unfaithfulness? This sadness is only natural—but your sorrow will melt into joy as you preview God’s perfect plan that cannot fail.
   God always has a better idea—a design that is bigger and more beautiful than anything you have ever dreamed.

God’s Everlasting Love
Romans 8: 31-39

    What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can anyone be against us? God did not keep back his own Son, but he gave him for us. If God did this, won’t he freely give us everything else? If God says his chosen ones are acceptable to him, can anyone bring charges against them? Or can anyone condemn them? No indeed! Christ died and was raised to life, and now he is at God’s right side, speaking to him for us.
    Can anything separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble, suffering, and hard times, or hunger and nakedness, or danger and death? It is precise as the Scriptures say, “For you, we face death all day long. We are like sheep on their way to be butchered.” In everything, we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us.
    I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love–not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!
