Amazing Encouragement!

The verses listed below were talked about the other night at our Ladies' Bible Study and they have truly encouraged me!!! When we adopt orphans and see the state of so many children around the world, it breaks my heart...it sometimes leaves me feeling hopeless and useless. When I think about these children, their pain and suffering, their lonliness...I am overcome with such sadness! These verses truly spoke to my heart that NO MATTER WHAT our earthly life is like, God is our HOPE, our JOY, our PEACE. He loves us (and all the children of the world) WAY more than I could ever love them. I love that overwhelming victory is ours, overwhelming victory for each and every child (or adult) who suffers, is afraid, who is alone...how awesome is God's love!!! Amazing!

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loves us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
