HOPE

My reading was from Romans 8;28-39 this morning. It spoke to me of HOPE! My hope is in God.......and not in a person place or thing. In this passage there are numerous things cited about God that give me cause to hope in Him.

-He works all things in my life together for my good
-God is 'for' me (so what could be against me?)
-since He didn't spare His own son Jesus on my behalf, He will also give me everything else I need
-He has chosen me to be His own child (I love being God`s kid :)
-God has given me right standing with Him.........I stand before Him holy, blameless and beyond his disapproval
-when I have struggles in life it does not mean that He doesn't love me..........He has provided overwhelming victory over all my hurts, habits and hang-ups
-NOTHING (death, life, angels or demons, fears and worries, the powers of hell) nothing in the sky or the earth can separate me from His love

All of these things are provided for me through the coming of His son Jesus and as I put my trust in what He has done on my behalf by dieing for my sin on the cross, I have not only found the hope of eternal life in Heaven but tremendous 'hope' and assurance that today I can live victoriously in His love and power.

Thank You God for sending Jesus to be our Saviour. He truly is the `Reason for the Season`. Amen
