Being in a long distance relationship can bring some hard times. As human being, physical distance can sometimes serve as a boundary between us and the people that we love. The Bible is clear however that true love casts out all fear, so we don’t have to be afraid. Luckily, one of the best ways to help ourselves continue to love without someone’s physical presence is to lean on God’s help. The Word of God, the Bible, was given to us to help us in every situation, including our long distance relationships. I hope that these 111 Bible verses for long distance relationships from God’s word help you to stand firm in your relationship.
