Separation Hurts

The hurt of separation is experienced by almost

 everyone at some point in his or her life. As children

 grow up they move away from home and are

separated from the family.



Sadly separation may be caused by

relationships that do not work as in broken

 homes and divorce. Death is one of the

 leading causes of separation.

Separation is not a one-way street; as I hurt so hurt

 those I am separated from.
 

Sin separates us from God!

Isaiah 59:2

“But your iniquities have separated between you

and your God, and your sins have hid His face

from you, that He will not hear.”

When I reflect upon the anguish I experience being

 apart from those dear to me, I can begin to know

how God feels when we, His children are separated

by our sins from Him. Not only does God suffer,

we suffer when our sins separate us from our God.

We know that separation so bothered God that

He gave His Son, Jesus, to die that the

separation might be ended.

Let us remember the pain of separation

and diligently strive to eliminate its cause

from our lives!
