Romans 8:38-39

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor 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.

Romans 8:38-39

Reading these verses this morning had me thinking...if nothing can separate us from God why does He sometimes feel so distant? I feel like God told me that I/we distance ourselves from God...not Him from us.  We get so wrapped up in our own little world that we feel we don't need God for the day to day stuff...we only want Him around when something "big" happens.  Because we have gotten in the habit of doing things our own way when things are good, when we feel like we really "need" Him, we aren't sure where to look, so He feels distant...God is never far away from us...in the good times and the bad!  

It is our pride and our selfishness that makes us believe we can do things our own way and that we don't need God...it is only when reality kicks us in the face that we realize how screwed up we are as humans and how much we really need God to guide us through the highs and lows of life!  Surrendering our lives to Christ is hard...something that has to be done daily, hourly, or maybe even minute by minute!

God Bless...
