The Gospel is such an overwhelming topic when you really think about it – and I mean when you really sit down and think about the massiveness of what the Gospel is to us. Our Pastor recently dove into the concept of Grace and how easily we take it for granted. We don’t realize just how big and powerful the grace of God really is. We expect it, we know it comes with the territory of becoming a Christian, it’s just another part of our faith. But do we realize that without it there really is no us and God? It’s such a humbling thought.

A question in our small group after this sermon was, “What do you really need to believe more about the Gospel?” What a weighty question, isn’t it? The Gospel is so full of promises that we can’t even begin to wrap our minds around understanding. So what about the Gospel, what Has God said in the pages of His word that I need to believe more?

Then it hit me.

I need to believe that God is for me. I need to believe that He is really for me. God wants for me to prosper, He wants for me to succeed, He desires for my dreams to come true, He longs to meet my every need, He desires to see good come out of my life and not evil. I know those promises are in His word. I know that things can get difficult, and I know life can throw curve balls, but even in those moments God desires to see me prosper. I know these things, I know all the promises, I know they are there – but I am not so sure I really believe them in my heart. If I really truly believed that God was for me I wouldn’t live in constant worry of my needs being met. I wouldn’t fear the worst possible things that could happen to my family. If I really believed that God was for me I would trust that in this life He would take care of me. The good and the bad would be for my good, to prosper me, to grow me, to make into the woman that God has destined for me to be. He really is for me and my heart should find rest

Then the question, “How are you going to do that?” followed. That I couldn’t answer. I don’t know. I imagine it’s a daily reminder, where I remind myself that God truly is for me. I imagine that every day I will believe it in my heart even more. God really truly is for me. He loves me and I am His child and that is all it takes. It’s overwhelming and it’s wonderful.

What do you need to believe more in God’s word? What promises of His do you need to believe in your heart?
