"Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors

through Him that loved us." Romans 8:37

Paul is speaking of the things that might seem likely to separate or
wedge in between the saint and the love of God; but the remarkable thing
is that nothing can wedge in between the love of God and the saint who
follows Him....

The bedrock of our Christian faith is the unmerited, fathomless marvel
of the love of God exhibited on the Cross of Calvary.... Paul says this
is the reason we are more than conquerors in all these things, super-
victors, with a joy we would not have but for the very things which look
as if they are going to overwhelm us.

The surf that distresses the ordinary swimmer produces in the surf-rider
the super joy of going clean through it. Apply that to our own
circumstances, these very things--tribulation, distress, persecution,
produce in us the super joy; they are not things to fight. We are more
than conquerors through Him in all these things, not in spite of them,
but in the midst of them. The saint never knows the joy of the Lord in
spite of tribulation, but because of it.

"I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation." 2 Corinthians 7:4

Thanks to God for my Redeemer,

Thanks for all Thou dost provide!

Thanks for times now but a memory,

Thanks for Jesus by my side!

Thanks for pleasant, balmy springtime,

Thanks for dark and stormy fall!

Thanks for tears by now forgotten,

Thanks for peace within my soul!

Thanks for prayers that Thou hast answered,

Thanks for what Thou dost deny!

Thanks for storms that I have weathered,

Thanks for all Thou dost supply!

Thanks for pain, and thanks for pleasure,

Thanks for comfort in despair!

Thanks for grace that none can measure,

Thanks for love beyond compare!
