We Win

Ecc 3: 11; Romans 8 28-39

Have you ever felt defeated, guilty or condemned, like a total failure? Often those of us in the faith feel this way. We missed the mark, again. We try to do our best and it just isn't good enough. We get discouraged in life. We become shamed, guilty or hopeless. Ever experienced this? Of course you have, we all have. Just know this. These thoughts are not from God.

Romans and Ecclesiastes has the truth that sets us free from these devil devised thoughts. Let me list them for you.

  • God makes all things beautiful in His time.
  • Christ died to cleanse us and give us life
  • He called us to this salvation
  • He justified us
  • He glorified us
  • He is for us
  • He graciously gives us all things
  • He works all things together for our good.
  • He intercedes for us
  • He helps us in our weakness
  • He forgives us
  • He fills us with himself.
  • He loves us as His children.
  • He prepares a home for us.

What else is there. Why should we be discouraged? Why should we look to, listen to or respond to the lies of the devil? If God be for us who can be against us? Who can bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? Nothing can separate us from this love. So why do we?

I have not got a chance to update my blogs. This is such a wonderful message. Ronny and I are getting married on 14th Jan :). Praise the LORD!!! Only He made all this happen so quickly for us. We have many things to do before Jan and take a lot of decisions as per God's will. Keep us in your prayers :).

Praise the LORD forever!
I dont ever want to be discouraged and sad ever.
Hallelujah!! Amen.
God Bless you :)
