Romans 8:38-39: “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
C.S. Lewis’s words, “Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not,” shine as a beacon for young adults navigating the emotional turbulence of college and early adulthood. This season often feels like a rollercoaster—excitement, doubt, loneliness, and hope can swirl together, making faith feel unsteady. When you question your worth or God’s presence, Lewis and Scripture remind you that God’s love is not tied to your fleeting emotions but is a constant, unshakable reality, as Romans 8:38-39 affirms, with nothing in creation able to separate you from His love.
In a culture that often ties value to performance or popularity, this truth is vital. Failing an exam, losing a friend, or feeling distant from God can tempt you to believe you’re unworthy. Yet the Gospel declares that God’s love is rooted in His unchanging character, not your achievements. On the cross, Christ proved that His love endures your darkest moments, offering a foundation no failure can shake.
Anchor yourself in this love through Scripture, prayer, or community, even when your heart feels numb. These practices ground you in the truth that God’s love is the bedrock of your identity. As you wrestle with the highs and lows of this season, rest in the certainty of Romans 8:38-39—you are seen, cherished, and inseparably loved by a God who never wavers. Never forget: you are loved, and you are not alone.
