Romans 8
It is astounding!
My God has bound himself to me, in hesed love - so much that he not only commits to die for me to save me from my sin, but he goes further and adopts me into his family!
He knows me - before anything in me; he foreknows, he purposes (with purposes that shall not fail nor be thwarted), he justifies, he glorifies.
He chooses. He plans. He saves. He brings Home.
How can I not live in amazed joy, regardless of circumstances? "This God - his way is perfect..." And none of his purposes can be thwarted. No circumstance can man his love has been taken away from those whom he has committed himself to; rather, everything at every moment has to be subservient to His purpose: to make us like Jesus, and to bring us safely Home.
Who can be in a safer place, than one to whom the God of the Universe, the Lord of the Ages, has bound Himself? Every event says to that person, "I love you, child, and this will synergize into joy for you!"
