out of the wreck I rise

[southernbelle47]

Thank God this is true.
No matter what we go through, we do not go alone.
My relationship with Him is the most important thing in my life. It is the only thing that will last.
He loves us...whatever.....He promised and He does not lie..
I believe God.
Have a blessed week.

OUT OF THE WRECK I RISE"

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Romans 8:35
Romans 8:35 - NAS - with Study Resources - Study Desk

God does not keep a man immune from trouble; He says - "I will be
with him in trouble." It does not matter what actual troubles in the
most extreme form get hold of a man's life, not one of them can
separate him from his relationship to God. We are "more than
conquerors in all these things." Paul is not talking of imaginary
things, but of things that are desperately actual; and he says we are
super-victors in the midst of them, not by our ingenuity, or by our
courage, or by anything other than the fact that not one of them
affects our relationship to God in Jesus Christ. Rightly or wrongly,
we are where we are, exactly in the condition we are in. I am sorry
for the Christian who has not something in his circumstances he
wishes was not there.

"Shall tribulation...?" Tribulation is never a noble thing; but let
tribulation be what it may - exhausting, galling, fatiguing, it is
not able to separate us from the love of God. Never let cares or
tribulations separate you from the fact that God loves you.

"Shall anguish...?" - can God's love hold when everything says that
His love is a lie, and that there is no such thing as justice?

"Shall famine...?" - can we not only believe in the love of God but
be more than conquerors, even while we are being starved?

Either Jesus Christ is a deceiver and Paul is deluded, or some
extraordinary thing happens to a man who holds on to the love of God
when the odds are all against God's character. Logic is silenced in
the face of every one of these things. Only one thing can account for
it - the love of God in Christ Jesus. "Out of the wreck I rise" every
time.
