The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Romans 8:38-39, “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,

nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come,

nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will

be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus

our Lord.”

Separation is often an excruciating experience! Today I received

an email from a missionary in Papua New Guinea. He had been

here in the States temporarily, due to the illness of his wife. Now,

he’s back on the field –but without his wife. Her illness would not

allow her to return. They are separated by thousands of miles!

And for how long, nobody knows. I know that feeling!

In our verses above, the Apostle Paul covers every intrusive thing

that could possibly cause separation to befall us. Yet, he insists

that absolutely nothing can separate a believer in Jesus Christ from

the love of Almighty God! Salvation, therefore, is assurance of the

LORD’s ever-abiding love toward us, despite all circumstances.

We are hereby enabled to stand strong whatever may be working

against us. God has a plan for us. That’s all we need to know.

May the LORD bless mightily you today! We love and pray for you!
