He Spared Not His Own Son
"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things.- Romans 8:32"
What I read from my devotion this morning really made me realize many things... Some of the sentences in my devo book, really comforted me:
"If you ever feel that you are so insignificant that God does not care about you or that He does not want to listen to your prayers, you will be encouraged by Romans 8:32. There you are assured that your heavenly Father loves you unconditionally. There was nothing so precious to Him that He would not give it up in order to provide for your salvation. When the Father gave his precious Son to save you, He proved once for all that His love is boundless."
As I continued reading, I realized how much the Father loves us. True, all the things that we REALLY need are free.
The air we breath, the family we have, the friends we treasure, the SALVATION that He gave us, and this LIFE that He had given us. In light of what God did for us at the cross, should we not approach the throne of grace with confidence? God's response to our prayers is not based upon our worthiness but upon His love and grace. Our confidence in prayer comes not from who we are but from who He is! Nothing we could ask of Him could ever compare with the price He paid for us at the cross.
It's good to hear, read, and listen to God's voice as we meditate over Romans 8:32. It really inspires me and it makes me realize how God loves me--how much He loves us all! Let's live with confidence and anticipation knowing that almighty God is willing not only to give us eternal life, but also to help us experience it fully!
"Lord, I pray this day that You would have Your way upon me. Bless this day, and as I walk with You throughout the day, may You reveal more of You to me. Lord, thank You for loving me! Father, thank You so much! Jesus, thank You for dying on that cross God! Lord, open my eyes and my heart this day, and speak to my heart. I'm listening God. Bless all that You would want to happen today. I commit the practices later in Your hands! Thank You so much for that eternal life You've promised us (John 3:16) and thank You for helping us to experience Your goodness in our lives! God, may You be blessed and glorified in the things that You would want me to do this day! This day is Yours! Hallelujah... In Jesus' name, Amen."
Be a blessing today,
God's beloved!
