Convinced

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 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.

And I pray
that you
being rooted
and established
in love,
may have power,
together with all the saints,
to grasp
how wide
and long
and high
and deep
is the love of Christ

and to know this love
that surpasses knowledge
that you
may be filled to the measure
of all
the fullness of God.

(Romans 8:35, 37-39; Eph. 3:17-19)
