Romans 8:37-39
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
There may be no sweeter passage in Scripture to give us assurance and hope; especially after we have failed God for the hundred-plus time. In the midst of our failings, our distress and our tribulations (all the things Paul mentions in the previous verses) we still know that God loves us and will conquer within us all these things. God knows our troubles and tribulations. He often uses them to shape us to the image of His Son. He does not waste a good conflict, rather using it in us to shape, mold and bend our spirit to His. But, despite those difficulties and our feelings of despair in the midst we can rejoice that God is still both in control and in love with us. He love us beyond all these things and all the sin in our lives. He sees us only through His Son's sacrifice and that allows us to rejoice in His love and bask in His conquering spirit. Rejoice today in His Love.
