God is for us..

If God is for us, who can be against us.--St. Paul to the Romans

 

If we would ever stop and consider these words, "God is for us", if we would mull them over and over in our minds, we may discover there is more hope to be had than we realized before. It is a complicated and sometimes loaded truth, but it is truth none the less. When we lose a job, or can't find a job, God is for us. When we lose a parent, spouse, child, or friend to an unforeseen tragedy, God is for us. When our plans and dreams fall to pieces, God is for us. When we feel depressed, afraid, lonely, or it seems we are losing our minds, God is for us. When we find out we have some kind of nagging ailment, God is for us. God is for us. God is for us. This should be our mantra in this world of trouble we live in. To believe that God is for us, even when it seems He is not, is to see with the eyes of faith. To believe He cares, even when His silence is so loud it scares you, is to live in the wonderful world of sweet detachment.  God is for us. We must let these words wash over us, and pray they will change us little by little as we go.
