Scripture: Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced 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.
Thought for the Day: This is the same passage I used yesterday, but in rereading it, I was reminded of a funeral I did a few years back. In that service, I described the deceased as a no-boundary kind of guy. His love and acceptance knew no limits. In recent years, I have met more and more of these kinds of people, and like the deceased, they did not involve themselves with the church. I don’t want to give the impression that no such people are found in the church, for that would not be true. Yet more people are choosing to follow the ways of Jesus without the assistance of the church. What is it about the church that in these people’s minds is a hindrance to following Jesus? Let us reclaim a vision of being the community where people experience, learn and are sent forth to share a no-boundary kind of love – the love so beautiful revealed in the life of Jesus.
Prayer: Since there is nothing that can separate your love from my life, O God, may my life demonstrate a love that reveals only welcome and brings about only healing. Amen.
