“Nothing…will ever be able to seperate us from the love of God” (Rom. 8:38, 39). Feelings and truth rarely have very much in common. No matter how you feel, the truth is that you are completely loved by God and that nothing can ever separate you from his love. We sometimes compare God’s love to the love we know here on earth. The love we know here can be conditional, based on your performance as a friend, a student, or even a child. But God’s love has no conditions and nothing you could ever do can remove his constant devotion to you. There is nothing you can do to make God stop loving you. You can’t run away from his love. You can’t hide from his love. You can only decide to accept or reject it. You are loved perfectly and completely by the creator of everything. You have his word on that.

In the Book of Acts, we see the followers looking to the Lord for instruction and guidance. They needed direction about how to spread the message of Christ. In Acts 13:2, the Holy Spirit speaks to them about sending out Barnabas and Saul. The Lord still gives clear instruction and direction to believers. The Holy Spirit still guides us through the will of God. The church in Acts worshiped, fasted, and waited for God to give instruction. They actively sought the Lord about what to do. Do you actively seek the Lord about the direction of your life and activities? We must follow the example of the apostles and pursue him. We hear from God when we listen for him to speak. If you want God to speak to you, then spend time with him, worshiping, fasting, and praying. If you will be faithful to listen, then he will speak.
