"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
Mothers often feel separation anxiety from their children when they drop them off for their first day of kindergarten, watch them off to college, and when they get married. I've always thought it was a little outrageous, but I guess it's because I don't have any children yet. Still, I find it heartwarming, when a mom cries as she has to let go of her little girl's hand at the school gates or when a mother bursts into chaotic tears at her sons wedding.
We all have different areas of our life where we experience separation anxiety. There are many people in the Bible who probably experienced this as well. Remember Joseph? He was sold into slavery by his own brothers. But his father longed to see his son again. I could go on and on, but I'll get to it!
We may face worldly separation but we do not have to face spiritual separation unless we choose to. Unfortunately many people choose to deny Christ and be separated from Him forever.
