No problem will separate you from the love of God

God loves you. Maybe you have heard this phrase hundreds of times, but we should never grow tired of hearing the truth. God loves us with an everlasting love, and His love endures through any adversity.

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
- Jeremiah 31:3

Just as God reaffirmed His love for the people of Israel through the prophet Jeremiah, He wants you to never forget that His love is eternal.

However, there are moments when certain circumstances in life can lead us to forget this simple fact: if we are in Christ, nothing can separate us from that great love God has for us. In those moments, remember what the following verses say.

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

Is there an illness trying to make you forget this reality? Do you have a family, work, or financial problem that tries to keep you from feeling God’s love for you? Hold on to God! Come to Him with an open heart and ask Him to renew you in His love. He will never stop loving you. Draw near to Him to feel His presence and His love again.

There is no problem you face in this life that is great enough to separate you from the love of God. Do you trust in this?

The Spirit of God dwells in you

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
- Romans 8:5, 9

When you accepted Jesus into your heart as Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit came to dwell in you. This is your reality. How do you know? By the change you experienced within your being. From that moment on, inside you, you know without a doubt that you live for God.

In the same way, you know the Holy Spirit is in you because your greatest desire is to please God and live according to His will. You decided to leave behind the sin that once enslaved you, you surrendered it to God and received His freedom. In moments of doubt or struggle, you turn to God so that He strengthens you and helps you overcome in His name and for His glory. With His help, you remain firm in the faith.

Therefore, do not doubt your salvation. Do not doubt that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Affirm this reality every day as a child of God, spending time with Him and asking for strength to live each day firmly in the purpose He has for you. He is with you and He hears you. You are His child, and with Him, you are more than a conqueror. Listen to the testimony of the Holy Spirit within you:

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
- Romans 8:16

God is our stone of help

Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer,saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us
- 1 Samuel 7:12

The Israelites were discouraged in their battle against the Philistines, but their victory depended on God, who was their stone of help. Samuel’s story is an example of how God cares for His people and remains faithful. In our greatest battles, if we depend on the Lord, He will help us too!

Ebenezer was the name given to the stone Samuel set up at the place of battle as a memorial. It declared that they believed and proclaimed, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” Without God’s help, they would never have made it that far. And the same is true in our lives: without God, we can do nothing. But with Him, we are more than conquerors!

Think about this: the very place that had once been the scene of a great defeat for the Israelites (1 Samuel 4) was transformed into a memorial of grace and victory through the power of God. In the same way, God can do this for you. Trust in Him in moments of need. He can turn lack into provision, suffering into relief, and shine a light in the midst of darkness.

Jesus Christ is our eternal Rock! Hold on to Him and stand firm, for He will sustain you…
