Romans 8:33-38 (The Message) So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
Dear Friend:
I am writing this message because of the strong word within me today. Our sisters and brothers in Christ our suffering all sorts of hardships, maybe you are one who is suffering also. As I pray for these friends I get mad at the devil and humbled before the Father. I ask the Father what is going on with your saints. The response is very very strong within me….
I will never forsake you or leave you! There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, nothing can get between you and me. –GOD-
I am reminded of the scripture right before the above verse. Romans 8:28 and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. So I am saying to you today absolutely without a doubt if you love Jesus, he will bring good out of your situation. It is His promise and God never ever lies. Hang on help is on the way!
Let’s pray: Father in heaven I thank you for reminding me today of your promises and I will look for the good and rest assured. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Looking above,
Elaine

Handicap
2 Corinthians 12:10 10 that is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
My grace is enough; it's all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.
Dear Friend:
In life we sometimes feel like we have some weaknesses. Examples of that could be anxiety, worry, and anger. We know that people or circumstances could make these weaknesses appear. Some days I wake up feeling weak and this verse always pops into my mind. I wrote it above in two versions for you to get the idea of what God wants to say to you today. When we admit our weaknesses we learn to turn to God and let Him work things outs.
My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. –God-
Let’s pray about it: Lord I want to quit focusing on the handicap and begin appreciating the gift. So take over Christ and help me to remember the weaker I get, the stronger I become. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Appreciating God,
Elaine
