Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. —Romans 8:35-37
Separation is a reality we confront everyday. It can be as simple as a parent going to work for the day. It can be as panic-filled as a lost child at the mall. And it can be as painful as the separation of death.
