Rom 8:31b-39 What will separate us from the love of CHRIST? Will anguish, or distress, or ... NO, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through HIM who loved us. For I am convinced that (nothing) will be able to separate us from the love of GOD in CHRIST JESUS our LORD.
THE CHOICE IS OURS.
Do we ALLOW stress, sadness, discouragement ... to separate us from GOD?
THE CHOICE IS OURS.
THE CHOICE IS OURS.
When we feel stressed, sad, discouraged... Do we CALL upon GOD for HIS help, or Do we struggle through on our own(pride)? Or even worse, Do we ALLOW IT to take the place of GOD?
THE CHOICE IS OURS.
St. Paul is not being unrealistic or naive. HE is simply reminding us of the teaching of CHRIST. " We conquer overwhelmingly through HIM who loved us."
THE CHOICE IS OURS.
We are not to ALLOW anything "to separate us from the love of GOD." We are not to "give in" to stress, sadness, discouragement- We are to leave IT at the foot of the Cross. We are not to "power thru" stress, sadness, discouragement- We are to Trust GOD when HE says HE is yoked to us (Matt 11:30), and KNOW that HE is with us. We are not to "put on" a false face, acting like nothing is wrong- We are to ACTUALLY believe that Through HIM, With HIM and In HIM nothing is truly wrong because: HE is in charge HE has this HE is GOD, and i am not. THE CHOICE IS OURS.
JESUS, in the Most Holy Eucharist, have mercy on us.
