"Does God still love me?" Event the most seasoned saint is kept awake, from time to time, tormented by this thought.

Circumstances of the day can churn like storm clouds in their minds, seeming to prove that God no longer cares. Like clouds, the anxious thoughts block out the light of His love. We are then deceived into thinking that it is He who has cut us off!

Have the events of your day cast doubt on your trust in God's love? Don't use these circumstances as a barometer of His caring. They are no indicator...they are snares of the enemy.

With all the beatings, persecutions and deprivations the Apostle Paul went through, he, if anyone, might have doubted God's love. Many of your trials are just as excruciating to you. Perhaps you face a loved one addicted to drugs, an abusive spouse, unemployment, financial setback or poor health...making you cry out in the night. "Do You still care?"

With all he went through Paul was convinced that, "...neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38, 39, NKJV).

Stop doubting God's love. Know that all the trials you went through today can only bring you closer to Him. Beyond all doubt, you are more than a conqueror in His love!

Heavenly Father, in Your love, use today's circumstances to make me stronger and more firmly rooted in You. Help me keep my mind focused on You, knowing that nothing can separate me from Your love. Thank You for using them to bring me into an even greater walk with You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
