Romans 9:16 “It does not, therefore, depend on human desire, but on God’s mercy.” You and I, as chosen children of God, have to be as appreciative as appreciation gets. God has adopted you. God has adopted me. There is not a greater honor anyone can realize. A lot of fanfare was recently displayed in England. That celebration is nothing compared to the honor God has given each of us by adopting each of us as His dear child. Always live your life giving Him glory and showing genuine appreciation.

Romans 9:8 “In other words, It is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.” By faith you and I have inherited the awesome right to be called the child of God. Can we take a second and realize what that means? A child of God!! There is nothing more awesome. You and I have an inherited relationship which is so awesome we find it impossible to comprehend. You and I are a child of the Most High! What great love we enjoy!

Romans 8:38-39 “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers , neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Could there be anything more magnificent? Have a great weekend.

Romans 8:31 “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? As imperfect human beings we have the impossibe task of understanding our perfect God. Yet, here is a question posed by our perfect God—-since I love you and take care of you, who or what could possibly destroy My perfect relationship with you? The answer is so obvious it is unnecessary—-nothing and noone. The strength provided by our God to each of us is beyond measure. Enjoy living with that beautiful relationship.

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.” God has never nor will He ever fail you. Sometimes that statement just doesn’t seem right. Our human nature many times does not see or understand the will of our God. In times of our own weakness we have to let our faith filled Spirit rule and always realize God is always watching out for us and knows best. We always must live realizing we live to fulfill God’s purpose—not our own purpose.

Romans 8:10 “But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.” Unfortunately all of us will die. There is nothing worse on this earth than to die. That is the ultimate punishment all of us will suffer. BUT, while we die we live. We immediately go from the worst to the best. To say our Savior is totally responsible for an eternity of wonder for each of us is an understatement. We will never be able to thank Him enough.
