“No, in ALL these things, we are more than conquerors through him who LOVED us.”
Yes, that verse randomly popped in my head during the middle of the night. Well, maybe not randomly. I was praying at the time while desperately trying to get back to sleep.
The next morning I looked up the passage in Romans 8:35-39.
More than conquerors in all these things. What are all these things?
Trouble
Calamity
Persecution
Hunger
Destitution
Danger
Threats of Death
That’s quite a list from Paul. Most of which we have never faced.
He even asks the question: “Does it mean God no longer loves us if we face these things?”
No! He says we are more than conquerors. Why?
We exceedingly conquer, prevail mightily, and are completely and overwhelmingly victorious because of Jesus’ love for us.
This love is an agape love.
Unconditional
Unrestricted
Unrestrained
Sacrificial
Endless
Everlasting
Eternal
Nothing can separate us from the unfailing love of God.
Not death or life
Nor angels or demons
Neither fears for today
Nor worries for tomorrow
No Powers of hell, in the sky or on earth
Nothing in all creation
Will ever be able to separate its from the love God revealed in Christ Jesus.
God loves you in every moment and every mess up with a deep, abiding, embracing and unending love.
Take a minute to let that truth sink deep into your soul.
