Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
-Romans 8:35-37
“In all these things,” not “far away from trouble we are more than conquerors.”
Maybe being more than a conqueror means not only that I win when things come against me, but also that the things that come against me actually work for me because God, in his fathering love, is winning me through them.
