Romans 8:33

33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.

If you stop to think about it, how much of your daily activity is devoted to making sure you’re really somebody? We have these ideas of success that are somewhere out there in the world. If we can just take some real steps towards more money, more respect, more power, more attractiveness, more expertise then today can be a success and one day we will really have it. We can finally be there. We can finally be done, beautiful, good, full.

That will never work. It is only God who justifies; only He can say you are good, only He can make you full. If, through Jesus, God says you are good, what could your parents, the world, or even your own soul argue back? Who can bring any charge against you if God says you’re free? Go to Him and start putting your effort into enjoying His grace and glorifying His name.

Prayer prompt: Lord, please help me to believe that you have really made me free.
