Words to make your heart sing

One memory always comes to mind whenever I read this passage.

Back when I was a high school student, one day I was just thinking on Paul’s words as I walked from the bus stop to my school.

My heart was singing that day.

And as I read it today, my soul sang just as loudly if not more loudly than it did all those years ago.

No condemnation.

Pardoned.

No spirit of fear.

Child of God.

The Holy Spirit in me crying out, “Abba, Father!”

Hope.

The Spirit interceding for me when my prayers are all messed up.

God hearing those prayers and working all things for my good.

God is for me, not against me.

I’m foreknown by God.

Predestined to be made like Jesus.

Called.

Justified.

Glorified.

Not accused. Justified.

Not condemned. Defended.

And nothing, nothing can separate me from God’s love!

Is your heart singing yet?

Think on those words.

Meditate on them.

Is your heart singing?
