Oh How I Love Thee! (#9)

God looks upon us -- “How do I love you? Let me help you count the ways.”

Success is sweet. To be able to accomplish something in spite of huge obstacles is victory from which arises great jubilation. In God’s great love He has provided the means for victory.

In that marvelously uplifting eighth chapter of Paul’s letter to Rome we read…

“No, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED US.” ( Romans 8:37 ESV)

God’s love has provided the means to not just be conquerors (victors), but to be “more than conquerors”. His love takes us beyond just overcoming. He has provided the means to overcome more than just the things of this life, but on into eternity as well. We will be blessed with having spiritually overcome everything that attempted to keep us from God. This will be accomplished by the power God will work in us. God makes us more than conquerors in His provision linked to purposes which extend far beyond this realm, things of which we are only able to glimpse now. In our relationship to God we are lead in victory not only over physical forces which may take their stand against us (such as persecution and even death), but also over the spiritual forces (Satan’s efforts to deceive and ensnare). God, in His great love for us, has promised to deliver us to be where He is that we can dwell with Him for eternity. He brings us a surpassing victory!

Have a great day knowing GOD’S LOVE makes you MORE THAN A WINNER!
