The Love of the Father - Romans 8:28-39

Romans 8:28-39
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
For whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined these He also called, whom He called these He also justified and whom He justified those He also glorified.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect. It is God who justifies.
Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and further more is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness, or peril or sword? As it is whritte “For Your sake we are killed all day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am per5suaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be abler to separate us
From the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You have hedged me behind and before. And laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. I cannot attain it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven You are there. If I make my bed in hell, behold You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there, Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.
