We can give up, get away from God, we can assign to the various concerns of the world, but, even though we are passing by the shadow of death or the dryness of this world, your love abandons us
“Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation? Anguish? Persecution? Hunger? Nudity? Danger? Sword? “(Romans 8, 35).
We face, every day of our lives, so many contradictory situations, difficult and complicated. We face the persecution of the life, sufferings which torment us, the tribulation that knocks on our door; We face the dangers, the lack of security, economic, financial crisis and the crisis of values. We can ask ourselves: “what, in this world, with all the difficulties and tribulations, will be able to get us away from or separate us from the love that God has for us?”.
If we put our trust in the Lord and in him to deposit our life and hope, none of these realities will separate us from his love. On the contrary, we face the tribulation, will overcome the anguish, we will pass over the persecutions, survive danger, swords and difficulties of this life.
We can’t be discouraged with what comes to bring us down. If God is for us, if Christ is for us, if the Holy Spirit is for us, if the Kingdom of God is on our side, what will separate us from the love of God? Only our own, our lack of perseverance.
God will never give up on us, our home, our family, our. We can give up, pulling away from him, we can succumg to the various concerns of the world, but even though we are passing through the shadow of death or the dryness of this world, His love never abandons us. God does not force us, but his love is chasing us. God does not force us, and his love will never leave us.
Don’t live by fear, by doubts and restlessness, or give yourself over to tribulations. We will go through all of them and the Lord will be with us in them all!
There are moments that we God so close to us, there are times when we don’t even know if God exists, but the conviction of faith gives us the certainty that in no time does the Lord abandons us and he’s beside whatever the situation.
Our heart is stuck in him, arrested him, because nothing in the world is there to separate us from the love the Lord has for us!
God bless you!
