Romans 8:31-32 “What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all–how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” God’s love for mankind is immeasurable. That only means–God’s love for you is not only huge–it is beyond your comprehension. He created you. He gives you your talents. He showers you with blessings. He will bring you to Himself for all eternity. The same is true for me and every other person of true faith. What a magnificent and loving God we love.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” We love our God. That love is received by God who in turn showers blessings on us. When you shower the unavoidable result is your entire body getting affected with wet water. You enjoy a warm thorough shower. Enjoy the warm shower of blessings given to you because of the great love of God. Love Him with all your heart.

Romans 8:18 “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed within us.” This life on earth is full of pain and heartache. No one escapes. Yet, attitude is everything. How can you and I say we are fine when we are going through earthly suffering and be telling the truth? We can all enjoy saying–fine–because our future couldn’t look better! I don’t know how your past looked or how your present is but I do know that with our Savior at our side our future could not look better!

Romans 8:17 “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” Children of God and heirs of eternal life—that is who you and I are. That is a simple thought to write but, the thought is beyond our wildest dreams. We say those words. We believe the thoughts. What a fabulous truth Paul is expressing. Children and heirs–what could be more magnificent!!

Romans 8:5 “Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the the Spirit desires.” Everyone on this earth walks to a drumbeat. There are two drumbeats. One, the easiest and most often followed: enjoy the lifestyle of me first and earthly pleasure dominates. The other, #2: put God first and have the continual thought of our God’s will and the sacrificial love of our Savior dominate our life. The #2 drumbeat is a much softer sound, but brings with it a peace and security #1 will never understand. Choose #2 and enjoy walking with your Heavenly Father forever. Have a great weekend.
