For Romans 8:31-39 to come to pass, I think the Lord desires a turn around, where His children have gone astray. I am always amazed by the lengths to which the Lord went in scripture to woo His people back to Himself. May we heed His call when He reaches out to us for God is merciful and does not give up on us. Whenever He calls us back to Himself, may we not hesitate to repent and turn back to Him. Jeremiah 3:6-25.
