“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death?” Romans 8:35 NLT
If you are a pet owner, think about how much you love him. As a responsible pet owner, do you not make every arrangement to see he is fed, warm, and safe? When the two of you are separated for more than a day, does your affection not grow deeper? In response to the care we give our pets, they develop an assurance when they are at home with us. They know they belong. We have been given the same assurance by Christ’s sacrifice for us.
Love is the great liberator, and I choose to believe God has given me this wonderful experience with my dog, Famous, so that I might have a glimpse of the love He has for me. Christ gave his life for us. His sacrifice should amaze us each day.
Lord, I know my needs are met each day by you. Free me from the fear of want today.
