Epilogue to 40 Days of Prayer for America
Bible Text: Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 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."
These are the Last Days
In these last times, these last days, Jesus is calling us back to Himself. That isn’t accomplished through mindless religion, or through halfhearted faith, but through wholehearted commitment to Him. It’s about having a true relationship with Him! The times we live in can be pretty unsettling due to the unsure nature of events happening in the world around us. But as Paul said NOTHING can separate us from God’s love, not our hurts or pains, not what’s going on around us, NOTHING can separate us from the love that God has for us because of what the Savior did for us! That is a truth we can hang onto!
We all need a Savior and Jesus is that Savior. What He offers is not a little religious instruction and not merely a little spiritual knowledge. What Jesus offers is Himself and that changes EVERYTHING! It changes you, it changes me and it changes the world!
What is your relationship with God like? Is it personal or do you hold Him an arm’s length away? What qualities might one find in a relationship with God? Openness, honesty, unconditional love, forgiveness, communication, … (add to the list) Are those qualities evident in your relationship with God? How do others, those around you, view your relationship with God?
Prayer: Thank Jesus that because of what He did on the cross, nothing can separate you from the love God has for you. Talk to God about your relationship with Him…. Ask Him to help you share and engage in your relationship with Him in a way that others around you will notice. Ask God to help you let others see His love in you and ask God to begin to change them, too.
