8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  | | | As Christians one game the enemy loves to play with us is the “God doesn’t love you anymore game, you’ve gone too far”. This game is effective because the enemy is playing upon the emotions of past experiences, such as; a divorce, a quarrel among friends, or even death. Our fleshly instinct is to say, this person doesn’t love me anymore or else they would have stayed around.
 Sometimes we “feel” like the Lord isn’t there, or the Lord isn’t listening, like Job when through the midst of all his tragedy he said Job 23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
Yet the bible tells us not to live on feelings, Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. and this is exactly what Job did, because in finishing the verse Job says Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
God knows us better than we know ourselves, and amazingly in knowing us (the good the bad the ugly, still loves us. The apostle Paul understood this, a persecutor of Christians, Jesus changed his heart on the Damascus road, commissioned him to bring the gospel to the gentiles, he was imprisoned for his testimony of Jesus, beaten to within an inch of his own life and eventually beheaded, writing to the church in Rome says Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus is the Krazy Glue love that binds us to God forever
