I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith (II Timothy 4:7)
For I am persuaded, 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 creature, shall be able to
separate “me” from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:38, 39)
