Nothing Can Separate You from God’s Love
Read The Daily:
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
Jimmy Bailey shared his personal journey of faith through seasons of grief, loss, and questions. During one of the hardest moments of his life, while his mother was seriously ill, Scripture reminded him of the eternal hope believers have in Christ. That hope became the foundation for understanding God’s love in a deeper way.
One truth stood above all the others: there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God. Not our past mistakes, not our failures, not tragedy, and not even death itself. Jimmy compared God’s love to a family reunion where every child is welcomed because they belong. God’s invitation is not based on performance; it is based on His grace through Jesus.
When life becomes difficult, it is easy to question whether God still loves us. Romans 8 answers that question with a resounding yes. His love remains steady and unchanging. Today, rest in the confidence that God’s love is not fragile. It is secure, faithful, and available to you no matter what circumstances you face.

Read The New Testament In A Year
Now Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wild. For forty wilderness days and nights he was tested by the Devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when the time was up he was hungry. The Devil, playing on his hunger, gave the first test: “Since you’re God’s Son, command this stone to turn into a loaf of bread.” Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to really live.” For the second test he led him up and spread out all the kingdoms of the earth on display at once. Then the Devil said, “They’re yours in all their splendor to serve your pleasure. I’m in charge of them all and can turn them over to whomever I wish. Worship me and they’re yours, the whole works.” Jesus refused, again backing his refusal with Deuteronomy: “Worship the Lord your God and only the Lord your God. Serve him with absolute single-heartedness.” For the third test the Devil took him to Jerusalem and put him on top of the Temple. He said, “If you are God’s Son, jump. It’s written, isn’t it, that ‘he has placed you in the care of angels to protect you; they will catch you; you won’t so much as stub your toe on a stone’?” “Yes,” said Jesus, “and it’s also written, ‘Don’t you dare tempt the Lord your God.'” That completed the testing. The Devil retreated temporarily, lying in wait for another opportunity. Jesus returned to Galilee powerful in the Spirit. News that he was back spread through the countryside. He taught in their meeting places to everyone’s acclaim and pleasure. Luke 4:1-15
and probe their hearts. Before you know it, they’re going to be on their faces before God, recognizing that God is among you. So here’s what I want you to do. When you gather for worship, each one of you be prepared with something that will be useful for all: Sing a hymn, teach a lesson, tell a story, lead a prayer, provide an insight. If prayers are offered in tongues, two or three’s the limit, and then only if someone is present who can interpret what you’re saying. Otherwise, keep it between God and yourself. And no more than two or three speakers at a meeting, with the rest of you listening and taking it to heart. Take your turn, no one person taking over. Then each speaker gets a chance to say something special from God, and you all learn from each other. If you choose to speak, you’re also responsible for how and when you speak. 1 Corinthians 14:25-32
