GOD IS FOR YOU
We see it in Romans 8:31-32:
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (NKJV)
If God is for you, who can be against you? God’s Word is clear. He is for you. You can be the biggest mess in the world, but the good news is, God is for messes! You might have done the most stupid things in the world, but that’s okay, God loves stupid people. (Me included!)
Say it out loud, right where you are: “God is for me!”
Oh, how important it is to renew your mind and build your faith on this truth. It’s so important!!! Marilyn Hickey
GOD CARES FOR YOU!!!
John 21:9-13
Here we see Jesus cooking “breakfast” for his disciples on the shores of the Galilee. They had been fishing and more than likely they were very hungry. Notice there was also bread prepared for them.There was another time when Jesus had fed over 5000 with a few fish and a few loaves of bread. God is interested in every area of your life. Nothing is too big or too small for Him to care about. He cares for you over even the littlest(smallest) of things. Jesus shows us His Father’s heart and it is BIG and He loves you so very, very much IN HIM.
“…absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us” Romans 8:39
OUR SUCCESS IS IN GOD
The Lord has never had anyone who was qualified working for Him. Peter wasn't qualified, and even at our best, neither are we. If we realize that we are nothing and have nothing, then we are prime candidates to be used by God.
Peter went on to become probably the best known of the twelve apostles. The Lord used him mightily. But He didn't want him, or us, to forget that it was Christ in Peter and not Peter himself who was great.
This also illustrates the extent of our Father's love and forgiveness. If God not only forgave Peter for his sin, but also reinstated and advanced him, then surely we have not pushed God's grace beyond its limit. Where sin abounds, grace abounds much more.
God doesn't see us as a failure - just a learner. God can redeem the worst "failure" and work it together for good (Rom 8:28). We need to think like God.
If we fall, it should concern us but not surprise us.ANDREW WOMMACK
