Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation?<br \/>\nOr calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?<br \/>\nEven as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long;<br \/>\nWe are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.<br \/>\nYet amid all these things we are more than conquerors<br \/>\nand gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.<br \/>\nFor I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels<br \/>\nnor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,<br \/>\nNor height nor depth, nor anything else in all Creation<br \/>\nwill be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.<br \/>\nRomans 8:35-39<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:<br \/>\nWhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us.<br \/>\nRomans 5:8<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,<br \/>\nthat whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.<br \/>\nJohn 3:16<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This is how God showed His love among us:<br \/>\nHe sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him.<br \/>\nThis is love: not that we loved God,<br \/>\nbut that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.<br \/>\n1 John 4:9 and 10<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in His love.<br \/>\nGod is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.<br \/>\nVerse 16<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Because Your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise You.<br \/>\nPsalm 63:3<\/p>\n<p>Doesn\u2019t our Father\u2019s
