Romans 5:8

BUT GOD commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

I love every verse of scripture that begins with the words BUT GOD.  There is always a needful truth that follows those two words.  This verse, in particular, speaks the loudest to me.  I was a sinner, but God loved me anyway.  I deserved nothing, but God gave His best for me.  Satan thought he had me, But God rescued me.  Sin had me bound, but God set me free.  I was lost, but God sought me out.  I was destined for hell, but God changed my destiny.  I was hopeless, but God gave me hope.  All these things and much more are implied in this great verse from Romans.  Always remember:  you may be facing many trials and issued of life, but God has a counter-strength to defeat anything you could encounter.  Pastor John
