Nothing can separate us from God’s love.
Let’s start by playing our air guitars! Play along with this song about God’s love.
What did this song say about God’s love?
Pray this prayer together.
God, Your love IS big, strong, and great, but sometimes You feel far away. Sometimes when things go wrong, or we’re in a bad mood, or we just don’t feel like doing things Your way we feel like we are separated from You. Help us to understand Your love for us. Amen.

A guy named Paul wrote something amazing about God’s love in the Bible. Who is the tallest person in your family? Ask him or her to read the Bible passage aloud.
Romans 8:28, 38-39
28 And we know that God causes everything to work together[m] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Talk with your family:
When do you feel like God is far away?
Our feelings change all the time, and that’s okay. But God’s love never changes.
So what do you think? Is there anything that can separate us from God’s love or cause God to stop loving us? Why do you think that is?
Even when we feel like God is far away from us, He really isn’t!
He will never let go of us! Nothing can separate us from God’s love. You can say it in all different kinds of ways because no matter how you say it, it is true! Here are some of my friends saying “Nothing can separate us from God’s love” in some different languages!
Let’s learn it in one more language—sign language!
Family project time!
Use a large piece of cardboard, sheet of paper, old bed sheet, your driveway, or whatever you have to make a big picture or sign that will remind you that nothing can separate you from God’s love for you. You can use paint, markers, crayons, cut out paper, or chalk—just make sure that mom and dad approve! I think I’m going to paint on a pizza box!
