Separated from God?

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38,39 (NASB)

Paul gives us an exhaustive list of things that cannot separate us from the Love of God. Nothing in or after this life can separate us from the love of God. No supernatural powers, the past, present or future can separate us from God. Nothing in creation can separate us from God.

Why does God seem so distant in many situations? What cause does Paul miss in his list?

You can separate yourself from God. God will not force Himself on us. If we desire our space, then God will keep His distance. What an amazing ability that God has given us, the ability to keep our distance from the Almighty.

If you really knew God, you would run toward Him. There would never be a thought of keeping God at a safe distance. Do you really know God? Are you keeping God at a distance? I implore you to run to God and enjoy His embrace and His salvation.
