Sinking our hope in the depths of God's love

The Apostle Paul writes "To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints" (Romans 1:7):

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.'
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 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." (Romans 8:35-39)


Today my mom had surgery for breast cancer and what verses these are to rest our hope upon! Nothing... nothing can/will or ever shall... separate us from the love of God that is in Christ. These are truly verses to sink our minds into and consider as we face "trials of many kinds." I am thankful for these mighty encouragements from His Word esp. at this time. We can look to our God with hope in this life, and ultimately, rest in the sure hope we have for the life to come. We have a kind God who loves his people with an incomparable love!
