August 2009 Dear Friends, Lately I am so reminded of how
Great and Mighty the Lord is. How he moves through the hours of our lives each
day sometimes seemingly unnoticed to us. Only when we take time to look back
and reflect do we see the divine footprints that He has been there. I encourage you to take the time to look
back over today and see. I have no doubt it will amaze you. May the Lord bless you and may your hope
be renewed today! Cheryl A. Botelho, Director A Word of
Hope – God’s Inseparable Love! Romans
8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble
or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these thing s we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor
demons, neither the present nor the future, no 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. Love is one of the strongest cords of human emotion. It can cover a multitude of sins. It can see past flaws and
imperfections. But unfortunately
human love can also be fickle and shortsighted. As humans we cannot love as perfectly and completely as we
would like. Human love is often based
on conditions. “If you love me, I
will love you.” It can change
according to feelings and circumstances.
But God’s love
is not like our love. His love is
perfect. It loves completely and
unconditionally. It never
changes. No matter what - He never
stops loving us. Paul proclaimed the
unlimited boundaries of God’s love in his letter to the Romans. He asks, “Who can separate us from God’s
love?” Then he answers his question
with the utmost confidence – “I am convinced that neither death, life, angels
or demons, present or future difficulties, no powers of any kind, high or
low, not anything in all of creation can separate us from the love that God
has for us through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Paul was absolutely sure that God’s love for him would never be
severed. Can you say the
same? Are you convinced in your
spirit that God’s love for you is complete, unconditional, and will never
change? God Word does not lie. You can be confident today that God’s
loves you very much! How great and
wonderful is the marvelous love of God! Quote of
