all things together

I was lame, and am--but healed,
      I walk now by
            grace.
I was blind, but a Light shined in
      darkness and by faith I
            comprehended.
I was condemned, but a King made
      me free from the law of 
            sin and death.
I am adopted, and I cry as a son,
     "Abba! Father!"
           The Spirit testifies.
I do not know how to pray,
     but the Spirit helps
           my weakness.
Interceding by inexpressible words 
     known by Him who searches
           hearts.
I know God is Sovereign
     and He causes all things
           to work together
For good to those who
     love Him and are
           called.

28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;
30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
33 Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies;
34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."
37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
~ Romans 8:28-39 (NAS)

"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."
~ John 14:15 (NAS)
