Romans 8:35-36

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: ‘For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’”

I don’t think we will ever fully comprehend the love that God has for us, at least while we are in our mortal bodies. We know it is vast, stretching across the ages, reaching to us in the depths of human depravity, but we can’t really comprehend just how big it is. It’s like trying to understand the size of the universe – we don’t know for sure how big it is; wikipedia quotes 92 billion light years as the size of the part of the universe observable from Earth. One light year is 9,460,528,400,000 kilometres. We can’t even imagine one light year, let alone 92 billion light years. But guess what? God is bigger than that – He holds all creation – the universe – in His hand. His love is bigger than the universe. In that vastness, there is a single planet that He takes particular care of. And on that planet are billions of people, whom He not only knows by name, but has counted the number of hairs on their heads. How can people say that God doesn’t care about them?
So, God’s love is huge, and it is the strongest force in the universe. Nothing can come between Him and us – no physical thing can pry us apart, no circumstance that can befall us can make God stop loving us. As Christians we are told to expect trials and persecution (2 Tim. 3:12, Jas. 1:2). Some of the greatest men of faith lived in extreme poverty (Heb. 11:37-38). God sees us in whatever state we are in, and loves us all the same. He will never stop loving us.
