For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8:38-39 (NRSV)

Things sure don’t always go our way in life; there are many days [and longer periods] where it seems like pain and suffering are unending.Thankfully, God’s love is always there and is often represented in the loving concern and support of those He places in our life. It is my sincere hope that we can all remember this when tragedy strikes (or tough times seem to persist) and turn to the One who promises to always be with us.
