Rom 8:37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I have always hoped to live a "peaceful and easy" life, and often feel why do we need to fight or compete for things in our ife. Why not enjoy everything that comes by our way. But I began to realise that often we are forced to make choices. I guess we only have 2 choices : be a conqueror or a loser, to be happy or to dwell in our sufferings. It's either you make a choice or you are subjected to choices made by others. Nobody loves to be a loser but to conquer everything that is in our life can be so tiring. Through all the ups and downs, we need to have the hope to carry on. I guess the strength of a conqueror comes from knowing that we are loved and treasured. It's hard to know that someone loves you if you dont even love yourself. I often feel that way. But once again, God told me how much He loves me. And He knows how I feel and He is with me.

If you feel the same way I do, the Lord wants you to know and remember that indeed nothing separate us from His love.I believe His love is the only thing that keep us going in the struggles of our life. All of you are so precious to the Lord that He thinks it's so worthwhile to die for us. I really dont know what else to say but give thanks for Jesus has did everything that He could to to make us feel treasured and special. Let's just praise Him.
