Good morning. This is the truth: God is on your side. God is for you. God is in your corner. God wants all that is best for you, no matter what.
Some may have had parents whose own issues and problems made them less than they should have been. For some, the stories of their parents are nothing short of tragic. While that may be true, your Father God is for you. His love is absolute and unconditional.
Some may have had, or are having, a rough time in school. Perhaps teachers weren’t (aren’t) as capable and appropriate as they should have been. While that may be true, your Father God is for you. His love is absolute and unconditional.
Some of us may have made mistakes in our life. Not the small mistakes that everyone falls prey to, but the big kinds of mistakes that make siblings ashamed, friends scarce, and people feel as though they haven’t anywhere to turn. While that may be true, your Father God is for you. His love is absolute and unconditional.
Some of us may be tired. We may feel as though we have carried the load as far as we can and we don’t even want to search for the strength to carry on. While that may be true, your Father God is for you. His love is absolute and unconditional.
There is nothing you could do or could have done, no situation you may have endured, no circumstance that seems to be too great to overcome that can in any way cancel out the truth that God is for you.
There is no “if only”. There is no “maybe”. There is no “has been”. There is no “would be or could be”. There is only the truth of God’s love and of God’s presence and of God’s adoration for you. God is for you, and in that truth, there is incredible power.
Please consider how God expressed this truth to us in Romans 8:31-34 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? 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? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
God gave you, me, all of us, Jesus. What more could He do to make clear the truth of His love for you and allegiance with you?
The thought for today is this: God is for you, and that is what matters.
