Searching for Love That Lasts
Have you ever felt like love is fragile? Like it’s given one day and taken away the next?
I remember walking through one of the hardest seasons of life with a dear friend.
Her husband had an affair, and she only found out many years after the affair started. Then, he left—abandoning her and their children without a second thought.
One day, as we sat together, the weight of it all finally broke her. With tears streaming down her face, she whispered, "I gave him everything. I loved him and his family with all my heart. And just like that, he threw it away. How do you trust love again when it can disappear overnight?"
Her words cut deep because I knew she wasn’t just talking about her marriage. She was questioning love itself.
Maybe you’ve been there, too. Maybe you've experienced a love that walked away. A love that let you down. A love that wasn’t strong enough to stay.
And when human love fails us, it’s easy to wonder—does God’s love work the same way?
💭 What if I mess up too much?
💭 What if I drift too far?
💭 What if I’m not good enough for His love?
But here’s the truth: God’s love is not like human love. It is unshakable, unbreakable, and unchangeable.
If that thought has ever crossed your mind, you’re not alone.
But here’s the truth: God’s love is unshakable.
And if you’ve ever doubted that, Romans 8:38-39 is your answer.
The Unshakable Love of God
Paul, the writer of Romans, doesn’t just say that God loves us. He makes a bold, radical declaration:
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 8:38-39
Read that again. Slowly.
Paul is saying: Nothing—absolutely nothing—can separate you from God’s love.
✅ Not death or life → His love is eternal. Not even death can take it away.
✅ Not angels or demons → No spiritual force can change how much He loves you.
✅ Not the present or the future → No failure, no mistake, no bad decision can remove you from His love.
✅ Not height or depth → Whether you're on the mountaintop or in the deepest valley, His love finds you.
✅ Not anything in creation → No person, no rejection, no circumstance can undo what He has declared.
💡 Many people believe that God’s love depends on their performance. But that’s not how God’s love works.
👉 God’s love is not a reward for good behavior. It’s the foundation of who He is.
What Happens When You Truly Believe This?
If you really believed that nothing can separate you from God’s love, how would your life change?
1️⃣ You’d stop living in fear of rejection.
- People’s love may change, but God’s love does not.
- You don’t have to earn it. You already have it.
2️⃣ You’d walk in confidence, not insecurity.
- The world defines your worth by your success, your looks, your achievements.
- But your value is already set by God’s love. Nothing can change that.
3️⃣ You’d stop chasing things that don’t satisfy.
- Many people try to fill the void—relationships, money, status—but nothing truly lasts.
- Only God’s love fills the emptiness in your heart.
🚀 If nothing can separate you from God’s love, then it’s time to start living like it.
Living in the Reality of God's Love
If God’s love is truly unshakable, then we need to start living like we believe it.
✔ When you feel unworthy → God’s love is not based on your performance.
✔ When you feel alone → You are never truly alone. His love is always present.
✔ When you feel like you’ve failed → God’s love doesn’t shrink when you make mistakes.
✔ When you feel unseen or forgotten → God already calls you His beloved.
💡 Truth Bomb: The greatest transformation happens when we stop questioning God’s love and start living in it.
The Love That Never Leaves
Let this sink in:
No matter what you’ve done.
No matter what’s been done to you.
No matter how far you think you’ve run.
🚫 No sin is too great.
🚫 No failure is too big.
🚫 No circumstance is too hopeless.
🔥 Nothing—absolutely nothing—can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
So here’s my question for you:
