Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 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.
I think part of today’s verse is one of the most misquoted verses ever. Verse 39 is often quoted as saying neither height nor depth, not anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from God. That is not what it says. It says will be able to separate us “from the love of” God.
It is very possible for us to walk away from God. We can turn our backs on Him and say we are finished with all this religious stuff. You may know someone who had done this. Heck, you may have done it yourself. God will release you, and let you do your own thing. However, He will never stop loving you. He will never stop waiting for you to turn around and come running back.
So, in a way, the misquote is not really wrong either. Nothing you can do is so bad, or so big that if you turn around, God will still be waiting for you. He will NEVER stop loving you and wanting you to just love him back.
God, I am so thankful that nothing will stop You from loving me. ~amen
