Great promises

There are some wonderful promises in the Bible that should be part of our lives. Promises from God give us hope, strength, build our faith and reassure us that God is not done with us yet. Here's one of those promises,

^{Romans 8:35} 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.”

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, 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.

Those words have been an encouragement in difficult days for millions over the centuries. These are rich words of promise, hope and reassurance from God that he will never stop loving us, but even more wonderful is this...nothing can separate us from his love. We are more than conquerors because God loves us. Victory comes not in battle, but in relationship. Conquest comes for us not in power, but in God's presence. Peace comes because in the midst of anything, any problem, any struggle, any pain, one thing is sure....God loves me.
