God's Love
God’s Love
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Romans 8:31-32.
Do you understand what is being said? __________
Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
Jesus is pleading for who? ______________
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 hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
(As 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 God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31-39.
This why it is said For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.

Remain In Me
Remain in me, Jesus says as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. John 15:4
God made him “Jesus” who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21
Action Word= Remain- Means to stay in

It's Better to Be Content
Competing with others causes our emotions to be unbalanced. Envy creeps in with thoughts of wishing for others to fail, so we can do better than them all because we find ourselves competing with others.
Try your best at the end of the day be content and do not lose your joy competing with others. Trying to do better than other people and outdo other people brings no rest.
Whatever steals your joy it steals your happiness.
You can not have peace by comparing or competing against others.
