God is for us

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?

Romans 8:31 (NLT)

Sometimes it seems as if the whole world is against us. There are days when nothing goes right and we’re almost convinced everyone is conspiring to make us miserable. If you read the whole chapter of Romans 8, you’ll see that no matter what, God loves us and is on our side. 

So, even if everyone really is against you, God will always be there for you. And since he’s the most powerful ally in the universe, the things people do to us and the things life throws our way don’t really matter, do they?
