For I am sure 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.

When the storms of anger rage, when the weight of discouragement and depression bear down, the pull of self-will and lust tug, even those emotions and affections cannot separate me from the love of of God. I am secure, safe on His gentle breast. I need only to remember to turn to Him in praise and thanksgiving.
