Gods love through Christ

Romans 8 New International Version 

More Than Conquerors

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 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? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j]

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Dear God,

I feel Your peace through and through my mind and heart.  I also feel a pervasive contentment.  World events did not cause this, for there are many logical reasons to be disturbed today.  You must be reaching down to lift me up, taking care of me, giving me a piece of Your serenity.

Thank You for this protection in the midst of the strange world we are currently experiencing.

Amen.

Only God — GraceSpeak

You know what faith looks like? It doesn’t look like a beautiful cathedral or a life without care. No, faith stands battered and bruised by the trials of this life and, with tears streaming, proclaims In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Psalm […]

Following — GraceSpeak

We choose whom or what we follow. Some follow music and video personalities. Their mannerisms, their dress, their hairstyle, their priorities all give evidence of their leadership. Some follow political parties. Blatant on vehicles and t-shirts and social media posts, the chosen party or political ideal is voiced in ballots and checkbooks. A good question […]
