Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Is it misfortune, or oppression, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword? — Romans 8:35
We serve a God who loves us more than our work.

Of course, God expects us to work, feed our families, care responsibly for this world that He created. He also wants us to take care of the weak, the hungry, the thirsty, the needy, and the generally unhappy people – while not forgetting the fate of those who have not yet responded to the voice of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

And yet we serve God, who loves us more than our work.

It is not necessary to forget about this, because the time may come when the ability to “do something for God” will be taken away from us – due to illness, various problems or an unforeseen catastrophe. It is at such times that God wants us to remember: He loves us not for what we do for Him, but for who we are – His children! From the moment we called on the Name of Christ for salvation, nothing – “misfortune, or oppression, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword” – will never separate us “from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord!” (Rom. 8:35, 39).

If the time comes when everything we have or can be is taken away from us, then let us remember that all God expects of us now is simply to rely on our identity in Him.

Father, help us to never lose sight of Your unconditional love for us. Give us the strength to cling to this hope when we can no longer work for You and see the fruit of our service.
The meaning of our existence is communication with God.
