INSEPARABLE

Romans 8:38,39 "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." ESV

The Gospel proclaims that God is love and that He gave is only Son to save us. There is nothing that can get in the way of God's love for us. We have the choice to reject God's Love and His plan of salvation that will cause us to spend eternity away from His presence. But His love is everlasting.

Heavenly Father, our minds cannot contain how unending Your love for us is. We pray for Your grace to live in this Love, to share this Love, and to honor this Love in everything we do. We pray for those who have not accepted this Love, that You will allow our path to cross with theirs, so we can share this Love and they will ask for it. In Jesus' name, Amen.

SEPARATED IN A DIFFERENT WAY

2 Corinthians 6:17

"Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you." ESV

The Lord has commanded us to be a separate people. He did not tell us to segregate ourselves into isolated little communities where we could stay away from the world. He wants us to be separated by our beliefs and lifestyles. We can't live in this world and be insulated from its' influence. We can be in this world and be an influence. If we separate ourselves from the world's beliefs and lifestyles, God will protect us from its' destructive influence on our lives.

Heavenly Father, how thankful we are that You are faithful to protect us as we separate ourselves from the world. Please help us to stay separate in our thoughts, beliefs, and actions so that You will be glorified. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

HUSH UP ABOUT THAT

Proverbs 17:9

"Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends." ESV

Love is active, it is always being and doing. Exposing an offense committed by someone is also active, always being and doing. It is better and pleasing to the Lord to act with love. This way we will be letting go of the offense or keeping it between ourselves and the offender, which will keep the door of unity open for reconciliation and forgiveness. Talking about the offense to others will serve to deepen the wounds, spreading strife to other people.

Heavenly Father, we so desperately need Your grace to be able to cover offenses directed toward us. Help us to keep these matters between You, us, and the offenders so that we can work toward forgiveness. Make us aware when we are about to repeat the offense to others and the consequences that could bring. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
