Benediction: God's Inseparable Love (based on Romans 8:38-39)

As we make our way through life, may we be mindful of the fact that nothing can separate us from God's love; not even going through difficult times, not even God sometimes feeling somehow distant or absent, not even our own shortcomings and missteps.  

May this truth give us both hope and joy in life.  May it inspire us to share God's boundless love in the world which God created and called "good."
