“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31

“God is for you! Not ‘may be,’ not ‘has been,’ not ‘was,’ not ‘would be,’ but ‘God is!’ Can your purpose be taken or your value be diminished? No. No one can defeat you. God is for you!” – Max Lucado

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 

I was studying John 20 and for some reason John calling himself “the disciple Jesus loved” really stuck out to me. At first, I thought he was arrogant, but the more I thought about it, and with the Holy Spirit’s help, I realized John had come to an amazing realization and was living there! He knew, trusted, and understood the love that Jesus had for him, what a great place to be! 

I pray that you come to a greater understanding and acceptance of the amazing love that Jesus has for you!
