What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for all, will he not us everything else also with him?
Romans 8:32
God held nothing back when he sent Jesus to die for our sins. He gave us his very best. He gave up what he loved most to wipe away our sins and our offenses so that we could have a relationship with him. And so God isn’t going to hold out on us or fail give us what we need.
We can rest secure in that truth.
Whenever we get sucked into allowing an offense to define us or to command all of our attention, we need to pull back and say, “Wait a minute. Time out.” The offense does not have the final word. Their offense doesn’t define me. Their offense doesn’t have to control my life. Even though another person has overlooked me or slighted me or treated me poorly, God does not overlook me. God will not slight me. God always treats me with dignity and respect and is always, always, always working for my good.
The song Sons and Daughters says it this way, “When the lies speak louder than the truth, remind me I belong to you.” Pray today that when the lie of offense makes you think that is your greatest reality remind yourself that you belong to God and that he is always working for your good.
