through...

Romans 8:35,37

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Will there be some trouble coming in 2008? Am I going to go through hardship? Some of those times have already come for me in 2008. And there’s probably more to come.

But that can’t separate me from my means of conquering – the love of Christ.

Note that we are not conquerors outside of Christ. Every time I try to conquer anything myself, it is bound to be short-term, if it works at all.

His love is not nebulous nor impractical. It is the gift of the cross and it is my means to victory.

I see Revolution surging in 2008, 2009, 2010 and long after we’re gone because of the conquering love we build in our lives.

Prayer for the week: Father, your love comes right when I need it. It sets me free whenever I feel bound. Jesus, I come alive when I’m with you. I ask for your grace to abound over me.
