“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The LORD is trustworthy in all He promises and faithful in all He does. Psalm 135:3,8,13 Jesus said “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?... 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.
