“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?... Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 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.” (Romans 8:35,37-39 NKJV)
Grief and pain are just as much a part of life as joy and pleasure. Life can be a dizzying whirlwind of sweet and bitter, hot and cold, fight or flight, gratitude and bitterness, black and white, full and empty, beauty and ugliness, faith and fear, serenity and anxiety, kindness and cruelty, connectedness and loneliness. Sometimes life even feels like it’s all of those at once.
Friends, we are dearly and passionately loved by a merciful and gracious Father, and nothing can separate us from that love!
-- Pastor Tim Carson, Estero Church
