Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional By Ben F. Wright Clinical Chaplain Ga. Diagnostic Center WHO IS AGAINST US? Romans 8:31 “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? On the surface this verse is easily accepted and felt to, be a worthy maxim. In reality when we feel we are being taken advantage of, our feeling changes. Most of us want others to think good of us. If we do not have this assurance, then we begin to worry about ourselves. To combat what others think of us, it is a good idea to explore what we feel about ourselves. If we have healthy feelings about ourselves and can accept the fact that we are not perfect and make mistakes, then it stands to reason that we have a fair grasp of who we are. On the other hand, if we feel we are perfect and cannot tolerate imperfection then we have set ourselves up to be miserable with ourselves and others, including God. He who feels himself perfect needs no God or anyone else. I have an idea that God can tolerate us in our imperfec tions. In spite of ourselves, God loves us. When we are angry God loves us. When we are jealous God loves us. When we turn our back to God, He continues to love us. GOD IS FOR US. This fact is hard for us to accept, because most of us seeming ly accept the fact that we can only work for the grace of God. If I do this and that, then God will love me. However, if we believe this, then we have missed the whole point of God’s love. But, I guess if we feel we can buy everything else then we can buy God’s love too. Hopefully, we will accept the fact that God is for us and then maybe we will discover that when we quit trying to Buy or work for salvation, we will have time to share our gift of love from God with ourselves and others.
