Nothing can separate!

I love that when truly considering God's word that nothing can separate me from His  love (Romans 8) that it means so much more than just Him loving me. While that is certainly enough it reminds me that as Paul said in this verse "in all things I am more than a conqueror"...that even in  tribulation, tough times and adversity I am loved and I have abundant  joy that is not affected by what's going on in my life. 

Oswald writes "Huge waves that would frighten an ordinary swimmer produce a tremendous thrill for the surfer who has ridden them. Let’s apply that to our own circumstances. The things we try to avoid and fight against—tribulation, suffering, and persecution—are the very things that produce abundant joy in us. “We are more than conquerors through Him” “in all these things”; not in spite of them, but in the midst of them."
