He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? – Romans 8:32-35 Jesus died for you and for me, and the Father has now bound himself to give us only good things. The outworkings of the cross make clear that even the harshest trials will come to our lives as blessing, for our ultimate good, no matter how bad we feel at the time. #DoulosDanielFast2015
