Reading: Romans 8:39
“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.”
Seen and unseen. All creation.
All creation is in the Lord. Whole in Him.
We divide and separate, measure and attempt to control
amongst ourselves but in Him we are all one. With each individual unique and
beloved.
So far beyond our understanding. There are believed to be
9,000 to 10,000 species of birds and 10 quintillion insect species. Each one is
also distinct. All forms of life are infinitesimal to our limited insight. Only
the Lord see each fully and clearly.
We cannot comprehend the vast expanse of all life in its
fragility and beauty.
And yet, although we stand in awe at creation’s staggering
diversity, we continue to divide and separate from each other setting up
barriers of judgment and prejudice towards those we don’t even know.
Separated internally and externally. Hardened hearts.
Self-oriented.
All can dissolve under His mercy and forgiveness that daily
challenges us to choose His promised grace in all situations and to all people.
Accept that nothing can separate us from His ongoing,
consistent, generous, designed, personal love. And live into joy.
Thank you, Lord for Your everlasting presence and purpose in
our lives even in our stubborn isolation.
Psalm of Worship: Isaiah 55:12
“For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the
mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of
the field shall clap their hands.”
