I was reading Romans and this verse caught my attention.... Romans 8:38-39 - "For I am persuaded, 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 creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (KJV)"
Those are some powerful and potent things: life, death, power, angels..... But think.... the Love of God is bigger than any of those things! God will still be here and loving me through all my life, and death is no match for His awesome Love. They can't stop Him.
That passage reminds me of a psalm........
Psalm 139:7-11-
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
I'd suggest reading that whole chapter.... It's amazing the things that God has done and the way He Loves us... It's hard to remember all the things He's done..... That chapter only enumerates a few..... But just look around yourself at all you have and seeeeee that God Loves you! Even when some things aren't going right.... Even when you can't afford to buy groceries for a month.... God provides, He won't stop loving you. No powers, not life, not death can keep Him from loving you.
No matter what i do, or where i go, like the psalm says, He won't leave me. He won't stop loving me............
Nothing can separate me from God and His great love.... not even ME.

God's love really is amazing. And He always comes through for us. He brings joy to our lives, as well as peace and the strength to get through our challenges.
He can also love us through others :)
