SEEDS FOR HARVESTING 6/10

Romans 8:36
"In all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved us."

What makes a lasting impression on us
through these words from Paul ?'
Which words seems more important to us?

Is it "in all these things" or are we "more than conquerors ?"
If we learn through our past mistakes and difficulties
we will be better equipped for a more victorious future
"through Him who loved us."

Are we spending too much time in thinking
about those things that
separate us from the love of Christ?
We do not conquer in our own strength but
"through Him who loved us."

To pass through "all these things,"
and to look back with rejoicing
and not sadness and pain
is an uplifting experience for us.

God's love is wonderfully elastic.
It stretches into our past and way into our future
so that life past, present and future is encompassed by
"in all these things."
Paul says God causes "all things to work together for good
to those who love God."

Jesus knew what He was saying when He said,
"this is My commandment that you love one another."
God is conqueror "in all these things.'
we simply follow in His footsteps
as His conquers for us.
