Who Shall Separate Us?

I truly believe that Heavenly Father knows exactly what we need to hear and that he uses other people to help give us precisely that. Once again, this week Heavenly Father used the people around me to show his love for me. My visiting teachers came over yesterday and shared with me this scripture:

Romans 8:35, 38-39
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This is one of the most beautiful scriptures I have ever read. Recently, I have been pleading with the Lord to help me feel his love for me. I think that this scripture shows, in the most eloquent way, precisely how strong the bond between Christ and us really is. And what holds that bond so tightly together is his true and everlasting love for us and the gift of the atonement.
