This applies to all who have put their trust in Jesus Christ and His finished work on Calvary. The Christian cannot be separated from God's love in Christ,(Romans 8 35 - 39. This is a wonderful thing to tell yourself. Nothing and nobody can separate you from the love of God. No matter what problems you are going through they cannot separate you from the love of God. They may be difficulties in your marriage, or health problems. You may have cancer but it cannot separate you from the love of God. Your children may have become estranged from you, even this cannot separate you from God's love. You may have lost a dear one to death. This will be hard to bear, but it cannot separate you from the love of God. This is a strong fact of our salvation, nothing can separate us from the love of God. Hold on to this fact and it will begin to pull you out of the depression your troubles bring you into.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
