1 : incapable of being separated or disjoined
2 : seemingly always together : very intimate
Lyrics of “Inseparable” by Natalie Cole:
Inseparable, That's how we'll always be
Inseparable, Just you and me
It's so wonderful to know you'll always be around me
Incredible, What you are to me
Incredible, You bring out the woman in me
With your style of love
Inseparable, Yes we are
Well like a flower to a tree
Like words to a melody of love
There's no way we could break up
No words that can make us
Blow our thing. We're just
Inseparable, That's how it is
Inseparable, For the rest of our years
It's so wonderful to know you'll always be around.

I officiated at a funeral service today. The deceased was an 85 year old World War 2 veteran, married to the same woman for 60 years, father of 5, 11 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren.
Long, full life; well done!
So I’ve been thinking about the 60 years part, the wedding vows “til death do us part”. Inseparable.
There is a love deeper than that, stronger than that, with a reach farther than that--reaching beyond the grave. That is the love God has for you. Consider the words of the Apostle Paul from the Bible:
“And we know that God is working in all situations to bring about good for those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose… What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:28-39 (NIV)
~ Father, thank you for your eternal love, which makes you and me inseparable. Amen.
