Doubt, Doubt, Doubt.

I love Romans 8.
I especially love the way the Bible I read as a kid puts it:
"Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death? (Even the Scriptures say, "For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.") No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't and life can't. The angles can't, an dthe demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to seperate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." (kid's Life Application Bible,NLT)

Sometimes we wonder if God really loves us, or even if what we're going through... how can that be God's plan? We see earlier in Romans 8 that God has plans already laid out for us, and that everything works together for good. Well I'm also learning that God doesn't just bring us to the tragedy and "give us directions" as a friend of mine put it, he leads us through it.
He will never leave us or forsake us. The Lord is with us, whom shall we fear? What can mere man do to us?? :)
Absolutely nothing.

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:1

"Even if our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and knows everything." (NLT) (the whole section look up: 1 John 3:18-20, it's really cool!)

:) So next time you're doubting, or something someone says leads you to question your standing, or even your own heart leads you to question. Remember even when we are faithless, GOD is faithful.
