Once, we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and our Lord, we are under the shelter of His wings.  It is God’s power that keeps us in His hand.  No matter how many times we fail and we all do fail, we are kept securely by His Spirit. God knows exactly where we are in our walk with Him. He allows us to be tested so that we know where we are.  As Paul shared with us, we miss the mark but we press on toward the High Calling in Christ Jesus.  In our weakest moments, God is with us and it is during these times that we are most likely to allow Him to mold us into His image.  Just remember that nothing, absolutely nothing, in heaven or on earth can ever separate you from the love of God.  We may fail God, but He cannot fail us.  All of His promises are Yes and Amen! So praise God with hearts full of joy that no one can take you from Him or His joy from you!
